    Hard Drive Reliability Stats for Q1 2015

    Sample size variability in this "report" is very questionable: 40 vs 400 vs 4000 vs 14000 Say what you want about confidence levels, but it is not standard practice to have sample groups many factors in population difference.

    Don't Buy A Steam Machine

    Not sure I would rate $100 as exactly expensive, but to each his own. PC gamers don't game on budget PCs. Casual gamers will game on budget PCs, like the Asus desktop or HP laptop they bought at Best Buy. I doubt they elected for the Linux install.
