I think most people who talk about servers and HDs/SSDs are referring to
commercial internet-connected servers.
Yes, a private server will likely see a lesser degree of service/use and

Old technology drives use magnetism to hold bits. This works for decades, or
so I’ve read. Usually the motor or bearings die before the magnetic medium
fails.
Solid State Drives use memory chips to hold bits. These “bit holders” can wear
out after a few trillion transitions (changing from 1

That of course depends upon the HD and the OS; my (FreeBSD) server's drive

There's also software that monitors the health of the

hi there,
today I have set up a new macbook, using the "Migration Assistant" app to move my stuff from the old
machine to the new one.
the only thing which I *excluded* from the offered list of user accounts and other data
