I don't know about that, it is amazing how often disk drives fail shortly after the warranty expires.
I seem to recall the MTBF figure was usually substantially longer than the warranty. I was going to verify that, but no one seems to quote MTBF anymore for hard disks -- instead they quote error rate, start/stop cycles, and annualized failure rate.
Which is more specific information and much more informative than a lumped MTBF number.
