Hard drives are extremely fragile, I knocked one of my 1TB external ones the other day, it worked for a little while later and then failed the next day. Formatted worked again, failed again then destroyed it.
I always back up customers machines twice on two different drives, and I myself have a Synology with two hard drives (RAID) which then also gets backed up by an external.
The only thing you can ever guarantee a hard drive to do is fail it just that many people get rid of their machines before the drive fails.
