Take heart... I remember back to the 1980's and early '90's when you almost couldn't give a Seagate away - - - Horrible failure rates. At the time, one would look to Quantum and later Fujitsu for dependability. Ain't it time for the primitive mechanical drive to be replaced by a solid state equivalent?
