Sure I believe in hard drive failures. I'm not saying that hard drives don't fail, I'm just providing my experience with hard drive failure. Where did you get the idea that I don't believe in hard drive failure? I realize that I'm just one data point. What I don't get is why people downvote me for providing this data point, whereas people don't seem to have a problem with blanket statements like "HDDs do fail, too. A lot." that provide zero data points. Moreover we are talking about SSDs vs HDDs here. "HDDs do fail, too. A lot." may be true, but if according to Jeff Atwood, a SSD proponent, on the order of half of SSDs fail in the first year then HDDs may fail a lot, but SSDs fail a whole lot more.
