Honestly, I've yet to experience a drive failure in thirty odd years. Need to knock on my wooden desk as I type this. ;)

In the past, I've ended up replacing the computer drive with a higher capacity one before experiencing any troubles. Or when replacing the computer, I ended up with a new drive. Still have the 750 GB drive from the 2010 Dell now used for backup purposes.

My NAS uses a pair of $50 Seagate 2 TB drives with a pair on the shelf for backups.

Curious - do you know how many hours the failed drive had on it? The oldest of mine that replaced the 750 now has 30500 hours. The newer one has 11000.
