Hard drives that will not die

Name: Anonymous 2006-05-07 14:02

I hear hard drives with liquid bearings re expected to live for only 5 years.  What are some hard drives known to last for a looooooooooooooooong time?

I am from the Harddisk industry. The one that limit the harddisk life time is actually not the Fluid Dynamic Bearing Motor, but the lifespan of the head. GMR heads usually only last about 3-5 years. I really recommend people to change their harddisks every 5 years. Anyways, the capacity of harddisk will be more than 8x every 5 years and you will be tempted to replace it.
