I'm sorry that happened to you, but what are the odds of me having a desk
top drive and two external drives from the same batch? Not in my life time.
Why not go with my explaination which is that I picked up a malware trojan
that destroyed my drives? Is that answer unacceptable for some reason?

In 20 some years as a computer tech I haven't seen it. I've seen the
drives rendered unreadable, or unbootable, but not un-restorable. Not
saying it CAN.T happen - but I've never seen it or heard of it being
substantiated. 5 years of that with what at that time was the largest
distributor of hard drives in Canada.

Not likely, as I lost three drives on the same day.

Not the same brand and model from the same batch??
I bought 5 WD black 500gb drives on the same day. 3 failed that day. 2
stayed on my shelf and failed within 3 months - either on installation
or shortly after.
They were within 100 in production sequence according to the serial
number.
