Off Topic: Hard drives and failure rates- a detailed report
The following is a good read on hard drives and failure rates (note- these are not SSD but conventional drives). These statistics were gathered by a large data-backup company, which basically buys the cheapest drives that pass their performance tests.
Here’s the link:

Well, since we are off-topic 😉
I was about to buy a Samsung 840 a few weeks ago. In the store I did some quick research and found this:

That led me to go home and mail-order my Corsair Neutron GTX 480.
The article is long but interesting.
