    Hi.

    I posted this last year, but it`s a great read for anybody who has not read it before.

    It`s a study of the failure rate of thousands of hardrives and and if smart data is any indication of a pending failure.

    Anyway enjoy , it`s a long read.

    Thanks for the link

    I'll start getting into it tommorow, as I'm reading John Grisham only tonight, and I'm sleeping in a bit :D

    I'll post back once I'm done, thanks again ;)
