That's less than half the number I have in the server room alone (approx 
450 there), plus about 150 managed PCs in various offices - even the 
user machines have overall disk failure rates well below 1% per 3 years.

We have a firm policy of replacing server drives at 5 years and handling 
them "with kid gloves" at all times, so that may be one of the reasons 
we don't see as many failures.
