One of largest retailers in Russia (and maybe in Europe - more than 300 terminals for orders in person at ex-factory building, busy 24/7) "Pro Sunrise" released information on failure rates of major components (CPU, Videocards, motherboards, IDE/SATA, etc) of PC they sold for Q1-Q2 of 2005.

In short, most returns are for Maxtor brand. Lowest - IBM/Hitachi.

Toshiba is worst in 2.5", and Seagate is best.

The chance to be blown are between 1/20 (Maxtor) to 1/70 (Hitachi).
