thats most assuredly not true.  HD manufacturing is extremely competitive, there's no WAY they 'are built at the same place'. Each of the few remaining major brands of HD's has their own processes, their own factories and keeps their technology very closely guarded.
Fully agree. And I even have my beloved manufacturer (whose drives have failure rate almost and order of magnitude lower that others).
