... these new HDD's are not much reliable. You've had one hard drive crash in 3 years, so you conclude that "these new HDD's are not much reliable." That is an entirely unwarranted conclusion, and shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the whole concept of "reliability" "Reliability" is a statistical measure and, therefore, tells you precisely nothing about any specific individual unit. Statistics are all to do with populations - not individuals. Statistics just tell you that 99.9% (or whatever) of hard drives will not fail before the PC is junked - they do not tell you whether you are one of the unlucky 0.1% who will suffer a failure. :-( Of course, none of this is of any help to you at this precise moment - but that's statistics for you, I'm afraid. :-( |
