[QUOTE="blr_p, post: 1161150, member: 10952"] [b]Re: Study: A Look At Hard Drive Reliability In Russia[/b] Right, but that google report was referencing older and seemingly more sturdier drives. ..but per this article that WD drives are more prone to high temps. ..which is pathetic as the specs state it should work upto 60 degrees C or that used to be the case since a very long time ago. Nothing mentioned about temperatures for seagate, just that bad firmware rollout sinks seagate in this test where its revealed mostly 7200.11 series drives were reviewed. So no 7200.11 seagate, no problemo :) I'm trying to think of instances where one would actually apply pressure to a housing or cover and come up blank :| Is it normal for ppl to sit on their drives ? where does this 'pressure' come from otherwise. I learned that modding a HDD to have a see-through cover might not be very smart if it happens to be a WD HDD. I think the mechanical shocks mentioned here prolly stem from careless use as USB drives. Taking them for walks and not being very gentle when setting them down. Or stacking 100 on top of each other so the 'pressure' builds up. Again this would appear advisable mostly for USB drives or otherwise mobile ones. I cannot imagine having to do this with a desktop, unless you live in a mobile home. [/QUOTE]
