Yes. No question about it.
Back in the days of asbestos brake pads, you could get 80,000 miles or more out of the pads (well, I did on my Rover Metro, the first car I ever had with disc brakes - disc is correct English for what Americans call rotors), whilst the discs remained in perfectly good condition. But asbestos has been banned, and rightly so. Modern brake pads have metal particles in the friction material - or may even be made from sintered metal. The bonus is that modern pads have greater friction and will stop you far and away quicker than the old asbestos ones. The downside is that most pads and discs now wear out together, and must be replaced as a full set. Brake manufacturers are getting on to this and are packaging pads and discs together as a set. Mintex, for instance, package their sets under the name "Brake-in-a-Box".
