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 |
| 9 |
that I've used 24/7 for about 8 years. They were still intact when I |
| 10 |
replaced them. |

But its hardly surprising that a drive with a capacity of some TB has |
| 12 |
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 |
| 15 |
and I bought two more some months ago. No failures with all of these |
| 16 |
drives so far. |
