What I want to know is how bad is disk failure rate once you're past  
the initial "this was shipped badly, installed using ESD-ignoring  
procedures, in a hot case with poor airflow" errors.  I mean, I just  
had a drive (Seagate, actually) fail (SMART errors, even!) during its  
initial formatting.  While that's annoying, I don't mind nearly so  
much as if it had failed after I had moved all sorts of important  
files to it...
