Do larger capacity drives have higher failure rates?
- simcop2387 8y agoIt's usually not so much that larger drives are inherently less reliable, but that the larger drives are also the newest lines and so yields and manufacturing issues are more likely to crop up than in the older lines that have had issues sorted out.
- SiempreViernes 8y agoI don't think so, it's just that they didn't include their older and smaller drives, from previous report I remember a segate (I think) 3 TB disk that was abysmal.
- platters 8y agoOnly if you yell at them.
