This information is super useful. I have an ST3000DM001 and only trust it because its smart stats are still all in the green (and of course I have local and cloud backups of anything important).
I've had it for four years now and there are no warnings of any kind yet, so I guess I got one from a good batch.
On the basis of buying a single personal hard drive this data is interesting but wouldn't have much impact on your purchasing. As usual the advice is to have multiple backups of everything
