In Reply to: Hard Drive Failures. posted by farmer boy on March 08, 2014 at 23:14:34:
Hi Farmer Boy, if you are using a desk top pc with a relatively new mother board, it probably has the capability of running a RAID hard drive configuration. If it has the RAID feature then buy 2 identical hard drives of cheapest brand per GB and setup a RAID 1 (mirrored) configuration such that either HD can fail and keep running. The only down fall with this RAID configuration that in 3 years when one of the HDs fail, you may not be able buy an identical HD for the RAID configuration and may have to replace both HDs. But some of the newer RAID controllers allow HDs of different sizes and will RAID to the smallest HD size. If it doesn't have RAID then only buy HDs with 5 year warranty and backup regularly.
If it is a laptop and is used in an environment where it is bounced around a lot buy a SSD. My laptop that I take everywhere, I backup every 2 weeks and replaced the HD every one and half years regardless.
