So I can either trust my data to a big stack of transistors and hope they don't just randomly die, or to a pile of spinning rusty metal discs and hope that a motor doesn't fail or something scrapes the rust off the platters. :)

if you are trusting any one piece of infrastructure, you're doing it wrong. keep your stuff backed up and there's no need for your data security to be based on trust and hope.
