Thats not %100 correct, you can find IBMs warranty policy here 
http://www.hgst.com/hdd/support/en/warranty/english3.htm
and Maxtors here
http://www.maxtor.com/en/support/service/warranty/warranty_at-a-glance.htm 

Both companies offer ATA products with a 3 year warranty, and many of their
drives only have 1 year.
