In general, hard drive reliability can depend on a variety of factors such as usage conditions, handling during installation and operation, and manufacturing quality control.

In addition, it is also important to check the Operating System compatibility and drivers support for the hard drive.
It is also important to check the BIOS and firmware versions of the system before installation, to make sure that the hard drive is supported. Some systems may require a firmware update to support larger capacity hard drives.
