Just wondering if this is a notion from 20 years ago or if it is known to be true today. it hasn't changed. if anything, there's a much higher risk today due to hard drives having a significantly higher capacity than they did back then, resulting in both a higher risk of data loss as well as more data lost when (not if) one fails. I have several hard drives and my last failure was so long ago I can't remember when it was. buy a lottery ticket. |
