I bought 4 of these 2 years ago... if they last another 2 years, I'll be very satisfied. 5 years, and I'll probably have upgraded them before then... and re-purposed for a small server or a couple mirror/stripe set on a workstation. then maybe they'll even last 10+ years. That's the ultimate test.
not one dropped out of my RAID array yet
always better than Seagate
