My guess is that you change disks often. I've had multiple fails over the years, either from overheating or more often from overuse for extended periods of time (aka more than five years). Although I've never had a failure before the guarantee expired.


Yesterday I lost 3TB Toshiba TD01* series drive 23,75 months in (home) use. Only 4800 hours powered on. And it started to seek fail, even SMART showed it. It failed one week before warranty ended. Ha!
