As a kid going to college, I used to test hard drives and computer equipment 8 hours a day for over a year, I’m telling you that hard drives are a consumable item.

Congrats on being in college and testing computer equipment, whats your sample of the equipment you tested. Oh you answered that already.

@JustinH

I’ve tested more hard drives than most of the population. I used to work for a place that sold store returns on ebay. I would get a six foot high pallet of mixed hard drives from best buy store returns,

Store Returns. Store Returns. Store Returns. Why would someone return a Harddrive, because they don’t like it orrrr cause they don’t work/ in bad condition. Your sample of test Harddrives is flawed from the get go. Its a poor representation of all the Hard drives made.

@JustinH

In addition to this, I would service PC’s. Not a business, just by word of mouth. To this day, I replace about 1 hard drive a month for customers, and a few powersupplies per year for customers.

I have done personal PC remediation too and again its a flawed patch. People come to you when they have a Problem.

Hard drives have warranties 5 years is a typical amount, if you are replacing harddrives you are pretty much scamming them unless you are following their warranties for them. Yes labor and a fee for follow the warranty isn’t a scam its a needed fee but purchasing new HD’s for already warrantied HD’s is stupid.

Sorry you just seem like you are a person that can follow instructions and replace simple parts and has never cared to know the WHY’s of failure.

I’m also Incharge of statistics where I work so I get a little nit picky about the sample size and proper representation of such
