Bad Drives

I have read at various times that some of the earlier Power Macs (like 
the Gigabit Ethernet G4s) corrupted drives. Was anything found to be a 
remedy?

A friend has a 2001 lightly used PPC G4 466 and this is the second drive 
to bite the dust. These are ugly deaths also. It does not go quick. The 
Mac has lots of hard to nail problems over a year period before it is 
bad enough to be obvious as the drive. This Mac is like having a Windows 
computer.

Thanks for any help
