Actually, it could be very useful to have a real insight in these figures. Similar reports by backblaze (a storage company) have been very helpful in deciding which HDD's to buy (or skip!) at $work. Also, this potentially gives *real* insight in SSD reliability; most other sources are "promises" by the manufacturer, some testers and perhaps random people who happened to run into a problem. Even if most models will indeed have been discontinued by now. Mvg, Guus Snijders
