No, they make them exactly like they _want_ to. Manufacturers have become increasingly good at making drives (and other stuff) that will last exactly 3 years or whatever the warranty period is. Over the last 5-6 years I must have bought 16-20 harddrives of size 40G and up - those have all died, whereas older drives size<10Gb are still holding up just fine. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (16.6°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
