Ahh yes. . . the burden of Content
So another day goes by. . . I’m sure many have this problem, especially starting out. Now that I’m here, what to say?
Perhaps I’ll just share a story.
A studio I work for was interested in buying a few new hard drives for backing projects up. We were looking at a terabyte drive. Comparing the three major brands that have them on the market was a bit disheartening on Newegg. All of them seem to have an alarming number of DOA’s or premature failures.
Now I’m completely hip to the fact the hard drives are a temporary thing. It’s in their nature. Tiny things are moving at stupifying speeds endlessly. Things break down. But shipping DOA? Every company had a review saying the three of six drives shipped failed, or other, similar problem.
Statistics 101 says I shouldn’t be too worried, as typically people who post are dissatisfied; people who are happy probably don’t. Actual DOA’s are probably a very scarce few.
Looking at the few, it makes it hard to make an informed decision. Seagate it is!
