[QUOTE="Johan, post: 104166, member: 80"] When in doubt do what the big guys (PC manufacturers) do.... I work for a company where we have a couple hundred workstations that we supply and look after for customers and one of the requirements are that they need to run 24x7x365...... and believe me they do run 24x7x365! I can tell you that the trend I have noticed are that these workstations mainly have WD hard drives in them where in the past they were mainly SG. I have also noticed that drive failures have gone down allot..... Personally at home I have a WD Black 1TB and I love it to bits, I also have one of the older generation 320GB SG hard drives and its still running after 5 years without any issues, Samsung in the Mede8er.....damn slow... and a Hitachi in the Laptop that has dropped a couple of times and still going. Look for Mean Time Between Failures (as suggested) and also for online reviews. [/QUOTE]
