Ok that is just fud and i was asking about servers themselves - disks can be swapped.

> 5 years would be a very good lifetime for a heavy use server, especially HDs.

Read Backblaze report - a lot of their HDs are over 8yo and the afr is less than 2%. SSDs will actually fail faster under heavy write load around 5 years yes



Yeah, it's easy to swap out. I'm just pointing out that it's not the same as having a gaming PC at home.
