A few things I didn't mention during the discussion in the shoutbox. The WD Red NASWare 3.0 drive was 4 years old and had over 2 years of 24x7 runtime in a server behind it and survived several power outages over its runtime. This are factors that play into failure rates of hard drives a lot. However some brands are just generally so bad that a ton of new hard drives fail quickly and even whole batches (talking about hundreds/thousands of HDDs).
