more than enough to draw statistically valid conclusions, as opposed to that, oh, 1 drive in your desktop gaming system that failed 1 day after the warranty expired.
Not that I disagree with you at all, but don't forget the other side of it. RMA replacements that are DOA or last a week to a few months. I went through 3 drives in a row before I gave up and went to an SSD. That was for a particularly bad Seagate - but that's the thing. It's not small percentages if you pick the wrong model/firmware.

No, they don't. I go years with reallocation_event_count at 0 on most of my drives and most drives of other people's computers that I see. If it goes up to 2 or 3 after a couple years, it might be a sign of failure or it might be fine. But no, you shouldn't expect to regularly see reallocations. Once the number starts regularly increasing, it's surely failing.
I've had the same with the RE drives. I even went with a consumer drive for a while in the server and had much better success. It was a mirrored RAID, so at least one was still and RE drive. That one's lasted 4 years. The other drive had been replaced twice.
I haven't been on Firefox in quite a while, but when I switched, Chrome's inspector was much nicer than Firebug. But I do web development, so that won't matter to everyone.
Not trying for annoying - you re-quoted the part that I was questioning.
If you're suggesting to buy some 6TB drives 6 months before implementation and then buy some more, then fine. But you can't just go do it all at launch.
And many of these chips have the HDCP key flashed into EEPROM (Analog Devices AD9889 is one example). If you don't put in a key, you don't need to license HDCP.
That's nice, but not HD. The 9.7" is close to HD, but only available in a minimum order quantity of 10 units. The project name is a play on words - HDMI-Pi = HD My Pi.
Neither display indicates being able to receive a signal at the native resolution.
HDCP isn't required to make HDMI function. That's only required for input sources that are DRM'ed. Doubt you'd find that in a DSLR or an R-pi, so there's no technical reason at all.
Power supply? Free - already have one from an old broken router. Replacements can be had at any secondhand store or yard sale. SD card? $5 if you only need 4GB. Case? Not absolutely necessary.

Like I said, a few reallocations are fine, but it's a pretty strong indicator that something might be coming.

The sectors that were re-allocated before the drive left the factory don't show up in this number.
They had the ability to shut it down for quite a while but didn't because they were gathering information and building cases on individual sellers.

I'm fairly certain that it doesn't make them use it or make it the default browser.
More likely they were told to install Chrome by someone that thought that it would somehow help. IE is no less infestable.

What other brand of 6TB drive are you seeing?
You probably bought your hard drive before 500GB platters. Everything after that has gone somewhat downhill.
Especially since helium in a baloon is somewhat under pressure.
You have to keep the serial number / invoice for the original drive to get them to honor the longer warranty period.
What other 6TB drives are you seeing available?

+Funny mods should always be allowed since they don't affect karma.
So you think anyone should be able to create a shill account and pull their worthless troll comments to a +5 reading level?
