Mostly plus-9 80/120GB and plus-8 30/40GB here, home & small business
callouts. I didn't buy any of the plus-9s myself, but four out of six
plus-8s I installed are now dead. A wide range of different failure
modes on those, strangely enough.

I don't think the plus-8s were used by any major OEMs, but you often see
them in machines from small suppliers.
