On IBM & Drive Use

11

An update on IBM and the Deskstar power-on hours on Tech Report. You might remember a story where IBM didn't recommend a Deskstar harddrive being on for more than 8 hours a day. IBM is now saying they should be fine running 24/7. However that doesn't take care of the high failure rates of the disks, which is apparently still pretty bad. Thanks Toraz Chryx.
