You should expect a drive to fail 10 minutes after the warranty expires. Sorry for the cynicism..... Joking aside, disk drives that are taken care of really do tend to fail either very early (infant mortality) or very near the end of the warranty period. I don't think I've seen a modern consumer drive with a warranty of more than a few years, certainly nowhere near 10. Abused drives will fail sooner. -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
