Indeed.  I still stand-by that as a proper diagnosis, since I have seen

I'd like to say that 18 months is recent, but that's rarely the case
where computer components are concerned.   They're mechanical, like

they get used all the time.    It could be that you get unlucky with
your particular drive.
