Why is that? From what I can read on your website, it seems you would be the correct use-case for enterprise drives, no?x
- rythie 13y agoThat assumes that you don't think enterprise drives are just marketing ploy, to get execs to part with more of their money for no real benefit.
- atYevP 13y agoWe designed our storage pods and software to work in spite of hard drive failures, so paying a $50-$100 premium for a drive just to avoid possibly $5 in labor to replace it when it fails is not a good practice. We go for the good cheap stuff, and that's how we maintain low prices for our actual product, which is online backup. As long as the drives are reliable-ish, and are inexpensive, that's what counts!
