When I read reviews for any disk on newegg.com I would inevitably come across reviews about DOA drives. The interesting thing is that some of the DOA drives come from the same order shipment.
Maybe it's just my extreme good luck, I've never had a DOA drive with the 100 or so drives I purchased over the years, from 700MB IDE to 4TB SATA. Or maybe I just took some reasonable care when handling them (always worked with power off; always grabbed the disk by the sides, never touching the logic board).
Sure I've had my share of failed drives from all manufacturers after a period of operation. But never one that was DOA.
So, what has been everyone's experience?
