Both makers state their MTBF, but can't remember them off hand. I've used Maxtor exclusively for at least 15 years and can say I've never "worn one out"!
When I upgrade, I put the smallest one I have around into a spare parts build or the like. My sister's machine has my old 20 giger in it (it was one of the first ones out) and it's still running like a charm.
