Last August a 6 year old 13GB Seagate Medalist failed in my server. In October, a 5 year old 30GB IBM Deskstar failed in my desktop.

Now, my desktop won't boot from a three months old 200GB Western Digital because of the infamous { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }

Before August, none the disks in my machines have ever died. Should I expect this row of failures since I was cheating on the specified mean time between failures for the drives I have been using?
