1. Any brand of HD fails. I've seen them all and no longer have a personal choice.
2. A hd can fail diagnostic testing and still be working fine. A combination of bad sectors, slow spin up times, or mechanical inconsistencies cause them to fail tests. Sometimes these drives with bad sectors can be repaired, but I never trust them. Only a catastrophic failure cause data to become non retrievable.
