Though, having said that, I had a hard drive in a security system
suddenly die, and die very hard. I think I may have had a minor error
warning about a week beforehand, the kind that make you think it just
wasn't happy about being rudely interrupted by something. But the
drive become a complete brick. The electronics don't even respond to
any polling if you plug it into anything. Fortunately for me, there
was no need to recover anything from that drive, a fresh replacement
was all I had to do.
I operated disk arrays with hundreds of HDD's in 00's. I had a peculiar
experience with WD HDD's that would simply start to disappear. There was
nothing interesting in SMART, the drive would just disconnect itself from
the array. It would suffice to pull the drive out and plug it back in and
it would populate itself again. However, the drive that started to do that
would ultimately "disappear" permanently, so we just replaced them
preventatively. Unfortunately, as the drive would seem to be OK during
tests, we were never able to apply WD warranty, unless the drive
"disappeared" permanently.
