I've got approx 5 WD drives around here, 3 have been kicking for the
past 5 years (10,20,40GB).
Seems the like the 5-6 year old drives were really good, but then, any
drive purchased recently since 4 years ago, just drop like flies
(>=120GB). Think it's a multitude of factors including heat, and cheap
parts. To include an engineering defect not being able to take *any*
abuse.
Could be. I haven't had my first >=120GB drive all that long. :-)
