I'm similar; I've never had a HD fail. Run out of space, yes, even stolen, but
no HD I've ever used has ever gone pop. I guess I'm just not a particularly
'high-impact' user...

I back up, of course, paranoiacally frequently. But, touch wood, I've never
needed to restore a backup yet.

(Of course, now I've said that, every drive in my various machines will expire
catastrophically over the next 24 hours)
