This means is the manufacture quality of the drives is declining. That's a greater issue than warranties being shortened. Hard drives used to be meant to last 15-25 years--a death within 5 years was considered infant mortality. Now, drives probably don't even last 15 years so infant mortality is over in three--and now two--years.

Shame on them for going shoddy. At the same time, it might be a consequence of the technologies implemented (like perpendicular recording).
