[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1017640"] A hard drive is a mechanical device that relies on lot of moving parts (and spins at very high speed). Like light bulbs, tires, or any other mechanical device, it can fail *at any time.* It is rated for an average *mean* time between failures, but all that means is that some hard drives last longer than expected, and some don't -- thus producing an average. Obviously we don't know for a fact that this is what's happened, but yes its well within the range of possibility. You may wish to contact the drive manufacturer about the warranty *on the drive,* if any, to see about a replacement. [/QUOTE]
