Do you remember starting school in September? If you're about the same age as some of us at 24 Hour Data, the only computers in your elementary school were housed in one central computer lab. Maybe your teacher took the class to the air conditioned room once or twice a week, and you learned the basics -- along with BASIC computing language. Then you'd load up Lemonade Stand or Pong while the teacher wasn't looking and become a grade school entrepreneur. We either just brought back a lot of memories for you -- or you think we're really old! Posted on: 9/14/2012

From the moment you unwrap your hard disk drive, install it in your RAID array, plug it in and begin using it, your drive begins a slow decline toward inevitable failure. Any hard disk drive, even enterprise class SAS hard disk drives used so frequently in mission critical RAID arrays, are prone to fail, even though their mean time between failure may be counted in decades.
