I've found if a drive is prone to failure more often than not its the slim 2.5" drives for laptops -all brand drives are prone to failure, you just unlucky if you're in the 5% of early failures. i find 3.5" drives much better, part of the problem is modern netbooks/notebooks have almost no protection for the drive & some brands [read asus/acer] don't even have the drives screwed in, i get plenty of kids at school who's drives have fallen out after they have dropped them
