Ever wonder why your hard drive failed, well here's some good insight onto why:

In my experience there is three main reasons as to why hard drives fail,
1. If the hard drive was hit, you dropped the laptop, you hit the laptop, you hit the table the laptop was on...
2. Overheat, your laptop got so hot that it cooked the hard drive
3. Bad from the start, the hard drive might have been bad when you bought it.
