If you care about your data, you should be doing RAID or regular backups or something anyways. (I was going to do all caps too, but it didn't look right)If you are concerned with not being able to replace a failed HDD for whatever reason, I would suggesting finding models offered with 5 year warranties (I know that WD/Hitachi and Seagate offer them).

People at the Tom's Hardware forums said I don't need to do RAID. I might get 2 HDDs, though, possibly. I'll have an SSD, too.
I think my best bet is to do regular backups. Tomorrow (or maybe tonight), I'll back up my iTunes purchases and music library and fansubs to an external HDD. I'll back up all my data on an external HDD. I'll backup my Firefox bookmarks soon. I need to back up some PC game saves (most of it will be Skyrim save data).
