there abig difference in the old hard disk and the new ones and it down the platter and how they rea and write, dnt forgot back then you are probally talk ide33 or ide 100 now oyoua re talkign sata 3000 tehre a vast differnece int eh speed and or factors new drives fail within 2 years you can get them lastign 5 years or 3 monhts but genreally it 2 years that wh comanies use raid and they dnt byuy the disk at the same tiem they stagger them so it mostly only one will fail if you are really paranoid you go with RAID60
but the drives are different and if you tkae it back to when they where out the PVR drive was dearer same now but not by much as the above user pointed out but we dnt knwo the hard disk geting used

Andrew, although I'm a bit out of touch with current hardware specifications, having no SATA drives in the house yet, my opinion would be that, as drive capacity and speed has improved, so has resilience. I concede that, for PVR use, the drives are expected to run hot as there is usually no cooling fan in the box but the drives are designed for that.
Personally, an MTBF of anything less than 5 years would be unacceptable to me but perhaps I have exceptionally high standards.
