In the last 5 years, how many of you have had serious problems with a laptop or desktop hard drive ? Define serious as you wish but i generally accept requiring repair or replacement as a good definition. However again define serious as you wish.
This thread is to evaluate hard drive reliability vs ssd reliability which is also being polled in another thread at this time. I realize most ssds have been bought in the last five years and some hard drives have been in use longer than five years but honestly most people I know have drives that are 2-3 years old with both types. If your drive was older than 5 years before it developed an issue vote no automatically. Please think about all your drives. Feel free to state how long you had the drive before it developed a problem in your post.
Vote yes if you have experienced at least 1 problem. Vote no if you have been problem free.
