Seagate had 1.5TB drives I think about 15 years ago with really high failure rates. Somewhere I saw close to 33%. Anecdotally, mine failed after about a year and the refurb warranty replacement also failed after about a year.
I think it was about 10 years ago some Seagate drives had higher than industry failure rates. Iirc one of their factories was producing drives that failed much more frequently than others (there might have also been something to do with the platter counts/model)
