Here in the big city, it's the norm. Sorry, but my experience is just as broad as yours. Hard drives may very well fail these days at a higher rate than they did 10 or 15 years ago. But they don't fail at a rate nor in a pattern that justifies a blanket policy of replacing them after 6 months or 1 year. And such a practice is not in any way commonplace among business or home users of PCs. -- David W.
