" I am not an idiot, so don't any of you dare patronize me."
Welcome to the forum, not. Don't let the lid slam on your behind when you leave.
Over the years, I have had three or four hard drives fail on all my machines that I have owned. Most are Apple, but I have had a few PC's also. You said "I was vague intentionally" and in your first post. Hard drives are rated in mean time before failure. Some last a long time, some don't. Deal with it. Name one computer manufacturer that makes it's own hard drives. I even had a brand new MacBook, out of the box, with a dead optical drive. Returned it the next day and they handed me a new one.
If you come here with an attitude, some of us will call you on it.
