If it has quality hard drives, the risk of an out and out failure are still pretty low in the first two to three years of life. I have a dozen machines here, many with multiple hard drives that are several years old. The only hard drive failure I've ever experienced was on a five year old machine with a crappy hard drive. A proper backup scheme covers most of effects of the risk, anyway. I’ve been running raid 0 for 3 years on the same machine and haven’t had a HD failure.
