Bit light on the statistics, but interesting nonetheless. In the build world we beat up on hard drives and tend to go through quite a few of them. In the build lab I work at we had a slew of drives die due to some poor configuration in some RAID packs (disruption to the air flow cooling the drives). While we are now past all the failures that resulted from that, our MTBF is still way above the 1% over a single year.
