this things you guys are talking about, breaking, old age. that's not true imo. a car moves 24 hours everyday, does it break in a week of use? of course if you t out the window maybe, this things are solid very difficult to break in normal day day use. heat is the main problem imo.
in my experience. my hardrives all fail because of heat, i just lost one more, this was on a raid 0 configuration, rip. now i just have one functioning a lonely 160gb, but, for how long? i am going to try again to have a raid array, this time i am going to buy 2 500gb that some people here...
