I've been fortunate never to have a HDD fail, at least not at home (at work, I went through 3 Maxtors in the space of 2 months).

But that's good to know about my OEM drives. I was under the impression that they weren't covered, or that the manufacturer would do whatever they could do to claim exemption from coverage.
