Technically a drive with a larger capacity has a greater possibility for a defect, but since all drives are tested before they are shipped, this is a moot point. Most drives I have used are perfectly reliable, with the exception of an infamous IBM unit, and a couple of Seagates that most probably began to fail due to excessive heat. This had nothing to do with the capacity though; one was an 80GB and the other Seagate was 300GB.
Just keep it cool and keep a backup, and you'll be fine.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
