- m00x 3y agoServer hardware is pricey, and if it's not pricey it fails often. 5 years would be a very good lifetime for a heavy use server, especially HDs.
- dilyevsky 3y agoOk that is just fud and i was asking about servers themselves - disks can be swapped. > 5 years would be a very good lifetime for a heavy use server, especially HDs. Read Backblaze report - a lot of their HDs are over 8yo and the afr is less than 2%. SSDs will actually fail faster under heavy write load around 5 years yes
- m00x 3y agoYeah, it's easy to swap out. I'm just pointing out that it's not the same as having a gaming PC at home.
