Extremely unlikely. Even if a disk dies, and they do all the time, it's usually part of a raid set which allows for 1 or 2 disks to fail depending on the raid level they use. On top of that, most hardware should be redundant in case something does fail. If it all goes to hell, there is always the ol' backup/restore solution which may result in a only (hopefully) slight rollback.
I'd be shocked to the point of quitting if my characters are lost forever.
