yea I know that all HDD have issues with physical parts thats why it's always a good idea to regularly backup. But I have heard of someone getting a WD drive have it fail in a couple of weeks then have the replacement drive die a month after that etc. 

It sounds like your friend may have mounted his/her drive(s) improperly. A spinning HDD needs to be secured tightly or the parts will start to bend and screw up. Either that or he/she was buying Caviar Greens.

they were resonably experianced with PC hardware and when they got a different brand after the issues they didn't have a problem for years.
