Well western digital and Seagate both carry 5 year warranties. Seagate I believe does on almost all of there products. WD you have to pick the right drive.

That's nice, but it seems similar to my Toshiba laptop drive experience
--- it breaks, we replace it.  I would rather not have to replace it.  :-)

Laptop drives are known to have short lifespans do to heat. I have IDE drives that have been running for four years without any issues but I have good fans blowing over them.

Frankly I think if you are running drivess (in a production environment) for more then 3 years your crazy anyway :)


Let me mention the only drive that has ever failed without warning was a
SCSI Deskstar (deathstar) drive, which was a hybrid because it was a
SCSI drive, but made for consumer use.
