I had a new, a year ago, Dual 2.7 drive go down within a month of purchase. I had a bass player spill coffee on my powerbook, killing it. I had a new (refurb) powerbook 1.67 arrive with a dying drive that completely died within a week. I have 6 dead external ATA drives.
I'm fortunate to never have lost any data. Lucky because when most of these disaters happened I wasn't nearly as anal at backing up as I am now. In most cases it took awhile to recover. Now I have mirror drives of each setup so in the event that a drive goes down it should take no more than minutes to be back up and running, unless it's a fire or flood.
