I have over 25 seagates some going on 5+ years. Even some of the original 1TB drives that need the firmware update so they would not brick them self. Hard drives die its like anything else. I still think how one uses the drive and environment plays a major roll in how each drive lasts. I never had good luck with WD myself I would not call it bad luck just did not last as long as the seagates

Did you buy all/most of those drives at the same time? Every HDD manufacturer has good and bad batches...

If the hard disk breaks down... do we lose all the data or we can still recover it?

We can recover anything... for a price.
I lost 223 GB of data some 6 years back. I was bloody depressed as it had all my music collection. I just called up some recovery guy and asked him the details. He said, the first 5GB will be Rs. 8000/- then for every next 1GB around Rs. 1500.
For bulk recoveries, i.e 100GB or 200GB of data, around Rs. 60,000/- MINIMUM that too depending on the type of files or something like that. And on top of that they don't guarantee a 100% success rate. :(
Professional recovery agents are even more expensive.
