The only harddisk I've ever had fail on me was a Maxtor, just stopped working completely after like 3 months of usage (Yeah just enough time to get lots of irretrievable stuff (Photos,memories etc) without backing up) T'was a right bugger that. Luckily Evesham run a complete warranty and replaced it for free, they even came out to us and replaced it for us. They're pretty good.

I have a IBM 60GXP, or as I call it "Son of Deathstar," after the debacle that was the 75GXP. My original drive died after about a year. Replacement drive died after 7 months or so. Finally Hitachi bought out IBM's hard drive business so the second replacement drive had an HGST label and hasn't failed yet.

Dabs.com collected my faulty harddisk and refunded me the money without any problems

And I've just ordered another, different one:
