If I have n drives, how many drives should go bad a month?

I ask because I have ~10 systems (Dell's, ASLabs, Promise
UltraTrak's) with ~200 drives (IDE, SCSI, various brands) between them
all.  I get about one drive go bad a month, is this number as
expected?  Should I be aggressively scrutinizing my machine closet
environment or be content with what I have?
