Seagate got a reputation for that series of high failure rates after a batch of drives were made using parts salvaged from a flood in China. In the grant scheme of total drives made, it was less than 5% that failed. Unfortunately for Seagate, the drives all failed within a few months of each other, giving the impression that the drives were extremely unreliable.
