The majority of drives die immediatly or not for many many years. Some die at all ages, but they're the exception.


The manufacturers at the time were saying: "there's no point in having an extended warranty because it's not going to fail after a year".

Which is arse. If it's not going to fail, you can have a warranty as long as you want, because it'll never get claimed against.

There's no harm in having a 3 year warranty, because your product's not going to go wrong.
