A Note on Hard Drives
The following is based on my experience, the reported experiences of other colleagues and the records I keep. Over the past couple of years I’ve noted a significant increase in the number of hard drives in the 2.5 - 4 year old bracket which have failed. I’ve always maintained that the warranty offered with a hard drive should be taken as the reliable service life of a drive and the after that you’re living on borrowed time.
The majority of hard drives used in computers are designed with a three year service life span, the mechanisms are built with a 9 to 5, 5 days a week workload in mind. Most of the people I work with, however, flog the living daylights out of their machines which results in a reduced service life. I personally use, and recommend, RAID | Enterprise Edition hard drives in all Desktop computers. Enterprise Drive mechanisms are designed with a 24/7 365 workload in mind and come with a 5 year warranty. In the scheme of things the additional cost of these drives is insignificant when compared to the longer term benefits and service life.
Regardless of which type of drive you use the golden rule remains, backup, backup, backup - before it breaks!
