With all the downloading and saving being done, and with people getting larger and larger drives to save more and more stuff, has anyone calculated:

Does the time required to transfer a TB of data to a new drive exceed the "Mean Time Before Failure" (MTBF) currently quoted by manufacturers for their big hard drives?

And if the drive lasts long enough to fill it, does it also live long enough to recover anything from it after it's filled?

(On average, of course)
