I wish I could say that.
My most spectacular one was a 5.25 in a USB housing. One day it it just started spinning up faster and faster. The USB case was vibrating around on my desk before I found the AC cord. Total loss of speed control.
A bad PSU (noisy power) will cause issues. I have had a Year old drive just stop reading (it was spinning quietly), Maxtor gave me a free drive of a larger size as they no longer made that 850MB
