  1. Hard drive death by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Interesting

    In the past 3 years, I've had 3 of my hard drives die.

    Meanwhile, the 340 megger in my 486 firewall chugs away, having turned ~11 years old this year.

    I remain skeptical that "bigger is better" in the hard drive world. Before they advertise size and speed, give me a hard drive with vastly improved quality and longevity, and *then* I'll become interested.
