If there is a documented causal relationship between too-often syncs |

and hard drive failure, I (and probably lots of other people) would be |

interested to see it. Personally, I would be skeptical that even |

daily syncs would do significant damage to a drive in good condition |
| 12 |
(all other things being equal). |
