You can get spinning disks and SSDs with an MTBF of 1.5 million hours, so they should last about 170 years ... How long does it actually take? For spinning disks, I expect them to fail after three years, consider myself lucky when they don't and the disks older than that with increased suspicion. Strangely, when they get well over three years, they might not fail at all before they are being replaced by larger or faster ones. An SSD that doesn't get much written to could last a lot longer because it doesn't have the mechanical wear --- they might have something else that fails, though. I'll consider them if my current boot disks fail ... -- Fedora release 19 (Schrödinger’s Cat) -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
