Thats the same with any drive, I wouldnt say SATA are statistically worse for any reason. HDs are the most likley to be DOA, fail very soon after purchase component of a PC.
Just treat them very carefully. Dont wave them about. Install them so they are perfectly level with al 4 screws. Never move them or the PC when its on and running.
I have 4 sata drives here blazing away fine, not one problem.....Of course the best bit of advice I can give you is to back up ANYTHING important or valuble regularly to cd/dvd or whatever because any drive can fail at any time.
