I don't really like to say which is worst based on these percentages since a large amount of HDD RMA's would be due to shipping. HDDs are fragile and sometimes delivery services toss it around anyway. And sometimes whoever you bought it from packaged it cheaply (Newegg used to be notorious for failing to package HDDs properly and ended up having to accept *alot* of RMAs because of it).
