It all depends on who you buy from... I have never had a piece of hardware fail on me.

Also, keep in mind that as devices are designed to work harder, they often Last less time before breaking down. That 1 GB HD does comparably nothing while it is operating to a 100 GB HD. Spins slowly, hardly anything on the disks to read, etc. When you have to keep things the same size, but vastly increase how much they do at once, trouble ensues. It is not all a matter of producers cheaping out, though many do.
