While I have not researched into it, intuition would seem to tell me that todays massive data size drives would be more likely to be less reliable than the small data size drives of yesteryear due to the incredibly high data density. Like I said, I dont know if this is true or not, but that would be my hunch, and a personal HDD crash last fall doesnt hurt my hunch.
I don't know if it's true, either, but the densities they're getting, the magnetic domains are so small that some of the circuitry is there just to "interpret" the overlapping signals so a particular bit can be isolated from its neighbors.
