[QUOTE="dertoxia:918045"][QUOTE="xmikex:918027"]If you didn't know what MTBF meant.... [QUOTE]Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) MTBF is a basic measure of reliability for repairable items. It can be described as the number of hours that pass before a component, assembly, or system fails. It is a commonly-used variable in reliability and maintainability analyses. MTBF can be calculated as the inverse of the failure rate for constant failure rate systems. For example: If a component has a failure rate of 2 failures per million hours, the MTBF would be the inverse of that failure rate. MTBF = (1,000,000 hours) / (2 failures) = 500,000 hours[/QUOTE] Now somebody explain that to me.[/QUOTE] I always thought it was called mean time BEFORE failure....not between. I don't think theres really a standard system to come up with the MTBF so the manufacturers have some leeway as to how they come up with the number. Last i checked the MTBF for most hard drives was about 4 years. So if you leave your computer on all the time and it's more than 4 year old, you're running on borrowed time. You best be backing up and be prepared for failure. Bottom line is ALL hard drives fail. Could be after 30 seconds of use, could be 30 years.....but ALL drives will fail at some point.[/QUOTE]
