I've had it happen, and I also lost data on my MacBook. Apparently a disk was faulty. They say that can happen to anyone, but it never happened to me with non-Apple hardware.

It's just the luck of the draw. I've had multiple HDD failures in the past 10 years on non-apple hardware, owning roughly 5-10 HDDs at any given time.

Apple uses the same drives as other manufacturers, so yes it can happen to anyone.

I cannot stress this enough: Backup your data. Even if you have RAID, you can still accidentally delete data. Considering how simple it is to use Time Machine, there's no excuse for not having backups.
