That failure rate is incredibly abnormal. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] porksandwich9113@alien.top [B] 1 point 2 years ago I agree. 2x6tb, 2x10tb, 8x8 going strong for 6 years 24/7 operation now. All easy store shucks. I just installed 8 18tb from server parts deals in my new NAS as well no issues a few weeks in. permalink fedilink source parent [–] r34p3rex@alien.top [B] 1 point 2 years ago Agreed. Many of my shucks are over the 3 year mark with the oldest approaching 7 years, powered on 24/7 and never spun down. None show any signs of degradation permalink fedilink source parent [–] HaussingHippo@alien.top [B] 1 point 2 years ago By environmental issues do you mean the condition of where the hardrives are being stored? As in if heat is too high or too much humidity in the air around the machine? permalink fedilink source parent
