But you probably won't. You'll probably see an error count and a histogram of errors per seconds-before-crash.

They lie because their competitors do and they figure it's more important to look competitive because the magazines only print speed numbers, not reliability stats. They must figure people who care about their disks working know how to test/fix their disks.
