No. Not really. Not all of them. It depends on the HDD manufacturing. Some
models are durable, and some are not.
My 160GB WD only lasted about a year while my 3 years old 40GB Seagate is
still fine.
FYI, my environment is somewhat harsh. No air conditioning (because it's in
an open room), and the air is not clean enough.
