Maxtor made some 120 MB (that's MB, not GB) drives that failed just out of their one year warranty fifteen years ago. We had forty of them at my office at the time. IBM had the "Death" stars (Deskstar). Seagates 1.5 TB drives may qualify, and check out the feedback on their low-end 2 GB drive at Newegg. Of course, one doesn't know if those hundreds of failures are out of 2000 or 200,000 sold.... I'm sure Hitachi has had a lemon at some point, but I've only ever had one or two of their drives, so I missed it. I tend to stick with Seagate these days. Their five year warranty won't save my data, but it means they have more motivation to put effort into quality control than a company offering a three year warranty.
