Google use thousands and thousands of hard drives. They have shared their findings with some interesting conclusions about the reliability of hard drives:
"First of all, Mean Time Between Failure rates mean nothing.
•Secondly, SMART hardware monitoring missed 36% of all uh-ohs.
•Third, overworked drives fail similarly to standard drives after the first year.
•Fourth, Hard drive age means less than you think.
•Fifth, failure does not go up when temperatures are higher than usual (unless super high.)"
Unfortunately they don't tell us who manufactures the most reliable drives... found at Gizmodo
