Wow... huh? I don't know about that. Been into personal computers since the 80s and it seems like storage has always failed orders of magnitude more often than anything else.
- bombcar 3y agoStorage failures are memorable everything else is easily replaced.
- JohnBooty 3y agoWhat other major PC component actually fails on a regular basis? Batteries and fans, I guess. Everything else doesn't really fail unless the user does something silly (toasting it via overclocking/overvolting) or a capacitor leaks. Spinning-rust HDDs used to fail a lot because they were well, moving parts with incredibly small tolerances and computers get banged around sometimes. It's kind of funny that SSDs carried on the tradition of failure despite not having moving parts.
