If you are a heavy computer user and have never had a hard drive fail, then you are in the extreme minority. That's like living in a city for 20 years and never getting a cold.

Knocking on wood, but I've also never had a harddrive fail on me (and I personally don't know anyone who has). Though I do get a cold at least twice a year...
I have never had one fail on me either, but that is probably because I'm scared of hard drive failure and move old ones into very-low-use machines .
