Hardware RNGs are very random, except when they aren't. And if they aren't, your adversary may well know about it before you do. http://crypto.2013.rump.cr.yp.to/55e2988c4ed3c9f635c9a4c3f52fa0b1.pdf
How random are hardware-generated sequences? With biases removed and waiting out correlation times, they are completely random. Even then, a little bit of bias or correlation won't compromise cryptography.
