Logic would say so, but this is actually not the case with many computer parts. I've seen a chip of ram come bad directly from the factory, literally straight out of the packaging. Same goes for hard drives; they're probably not going to simply never turn on, but there's absolutely nothing that says for certain that they won't die within the first couple months of operation.
