That's not so weird. Hard drives aren't that reliable. I had a drawer full of dead HDs. Another problem with desktop computers are the power supplies, but least people don't lose their stuff when their power supplies die. My guess is that people losing their archived junk on HD is going to be commonplace because people still use these archaic devices. Keeping your stuff on hard drives is a serious mistake.
