With a MTBF around 30 years, I expect you will toss the drive for other reasons before it fails.

Nevertheless, I would not change my dinner reservations on that account. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
