If you treat every drive (new or not) like it's about to die I've found that is a pretty safe strategy to ensuring no data loss. That 1.5TB Seagate drive failed and I lost it's entire contents sometime in 2009 and whilst I was not aloneit was a hard, but useful lesson I learned that day. I have personally purchased around 20-25 hard drives in the last 10 years ranging from 1.5TB Seagate drives to the 8TB drives that currently grace my systems.
Backblaze make a point every quarter of publishing their hard drive reliability statisticsbecause people (myself included) care about this stuff. Entire businesses are built around their inherent (un)reliability. They are mechanical beasts just waiting to eat your data at any time. Over the last 10 years that I've been messing around with Linux servers (hence the name of the site by the way) there's been one thing above all else that's always required special care - hard drives.
