I wonder why many manufacturers do not include the Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) statistic?
The author also encountered the smoke and mirror routine concerning warranty. I purchased a Hitachi/IBM DeskStar SCSI hard drive U160 type. When it failed I went to Hitachi's site and entered the drive serial number. The drive sn# came back as 'Not in Warrany' sold to, if memory serves COS or CSB or some such. Bottom line was the same it WAS NOT in warranty and it failed in 15 months of my purchase.
Caveat Emptor!!
