Hmm never heard of formatting hdd will reduce its life span but I don't think anyone format their hdd too often?

Oh, man. And here I am swearing how drive trays are godsend when the case design is lousy (seriously, why the heck do I have to pull out my video cards just to swap out a hard disk?- and this applies to 90% of minitower and half of the full tower cases out there- to change hard disk on those, you must remove video card or remove the front panel (which may involve removing the CD/DVD/Blu Ray drives).

Did the outside market have good quality HDD

Any recomended

Non, all depend on your luck.

HDD average life span is around 4 years.

is laptop hdd more strong then desktop hdd

had the middle connectors in all kinds of positions. UDMA/33 brought on some more stringent limitations on the cable length and positioning of the middle connector and while the specs still left open the question of which connector had to be used for master or slaves, certain high-speed drives like the WesternDigital WDC22500, WDC24300 or WDC26400 would either not run or else suffer from extremely compromised longevity when hooked up to the center connector as single drive on that particular channel. This phemeizu m2 note reviewomenon was as puzzling (after all, there should not be any difference since the same wires are used) as it was consistent between users and chipsets. The main reason why the phenomenon was so counterintuitive was that with shorter cable length, most drives would function better on any overclocked system, so why was it necessary to add trace length and move the drive to the very end of the IDE cable?

u still using ide hdd?
