- eru 13y agoDepends on a lot of factors, including your internal rate of return.
- atYevP 13y agoTechnically yes, especially from a manpower perspective (Takes folks to replace the drives), and it gets factored in to our "what are we willing to pay" model, so far, cheaper drive still win out over longevity. Now, this is different from other people with large data farms, we operate a bit differently, but thus far cheaper drives make more business sense. If that ever changes, we'll switch to the good stuff :)
