I've never had a drive fail either and I've had some for over a decade under daily 24/7 use. That said, having worked in repair and having people bring me dead and dying computers for repair I can attest that they do, indeed, fail quite often.

That said again, I keep backups on top of backups. I think if you do not keep backups then your drives are bound to fail.
