I don't get it either. I have hard drives up to a decade old that, on
test, show zero bit errors. Replace hard drives every three-four years?
Seems a waste of money. The only reason to replace archive drives that
frequently is to obtain more capacity, and that's economically viable
because the price of hard drive storage has dropped so precipitously in
the past two decades.
