I cannot think of a time where a blogger ....
... at zdnet has spread more bunk about an industry then you have with your vendetta against disk drive manufacturers. For the most part there are very few issues with disk drive reliability. Even your own dubious statistics bear this out. Try dividing the the number of disk drives sold by the number of complaints you found and see for your self. I would expect better from someone claiming to be a storage expert.
