Oh, the first real job I had in Hawaii was with a consulting service that ran their financial accounting on a very old Prime minicomputer. When they went to wipe its array of disks (spread across a wall of cabinets), they set off a wave of disk failure messages. I guess the hardware had been on the edge of failure for years, as disk controllers silently corrected errors until forced to wipe disk sectors they'd left alone for years.
