I had a really bad string of drives in external USB enclosures dropping dead a couple of years ago. I never pinned down whether it was something inherent to USB enclosures, my environment, or inadvertently purchasing a string of really cheesy hard drives.

Just remember that some drives have to be at the leading edge of the failure bell curve, and sometimes it's just your turn. Some brands will tell you warranty status based on serial number somewhere in the support section of their website.
