It seems that many many years ago HDs were more reliable then today. I have five 4GB IBM SCSI HDs and one 40GB Seagate IDE HD in my cupboard that I've used 24/7 for about 8 years. They were still intact when I replaced them. But its hardly surprising that a drive with a capacity of some TB has a higher risk of failure than a drive with a capacity of 4GB or 40GB. Since about three years I'm using four 3TB WD red HDs as storage drives and I bought two more some months ago. No failures with all of these drives so far. -- Regards wabe
