failed harddrives are quite random, other than known series of a brand. and even then it just means that hd is more likely to die.

a few years ago I still had a 250gb WD that I torrented on 24/7 for years w/o turning off the computer. it ran flawlessly. a year ago I purchased a 1TB seagate and it gave me smart errors within a week. you'll find similar experiences with most users.

try the WD Black series for your OS drive.
