I don't see any way that the file system put on a hard drive makes it
more prone to failure. Failure is always electronic or mechanical. Also,
for 20 years, FAT drives were all you had, so that's all that could fail.

4 years isn't really that long to go without a hard drive failure. The
Western Digital drive that came in the Compaq I bought in 2000 is still
going strong. It's never had anything but FAT32 on it. By contrast, the
Maxtor I bought in 2001 for file storage failed 2 months before the 3
year warranty ran out. The replacement they sent me (a DiamondMax 40 G)
lasted only a year and a half. I just threw it away this morning. It was
only warranted for 90 days.
