It's perfectly fine if they want to claim:
> Lasts for 10 years!*
> * Based on a total lifetime of X PB and typical usage of Y GB/month.
But if they claim "Lasts for 10 years.", then their implied warrantee is "Lasts for 10 years.".
- matkoniecz 6y agoAs long as "typical usage" fits reality and is not blatant lie like "serving size" on many cookies. (lets say that there is package of snack that everyone eats at once - package label claims that it is expected to be not eaten at once, what allows them to make less horrifying nutrition label)
- a1369209993 6y agoPart of the point of how I prescribed it is specifically that you can take X and divide by your own value of Y to get useful expected lifetime under more rapid writes.
- matkoniecz 6y agoThat is helpful, but primary visible message still should not be actively misleading.
- a1369209993 6y agoOn further consideration, "perfectly fine" was a poor way of saying something more along the lines of "not fraudulent".
