So less than 3 years use maximum.
5 years = 24 x 365 x 5 = 43,800 hours
This is only a fraction of the 2 million so these drives still have a lot to give!

2. Almost every other review of the seller mentions finding bad sectors on surface scan. Seller is very responsive about quick replacement they all say though. So testing is critical.
3. 5 year warranty by whom? Seller warranties usually don't have a good history of being honored. ("You didn't use it in the manner intended")
And I got excited when this triggered my GoHard alert. We both need to refine our SD alerts...

MTBF is more like the average of time before a failure occurs.
For example, if a car has a 2 million mile MTBF it doesn't mean the car was designed to drive 2 million miles. It is more like you took 20 cars and drove them 100k then there should be 1 failure among the 20 cars. 20x100k = 2 million.
Hope that helps.

I actually just had a drive replace by GoHardDrive. I emailed them with a video of what was happening and they didn't ask and further questions and said to mail it back. I got a replacement within a week.
I have 4 from them and only one had an issue a year out.
I'm hoping it's a sign of prices coming down so I can start stocking up again, but if you need it now, I'll go for it.
Sorry I might be sleep deprived, but how is $260 / 22TB = $10/TB?
I would consider $7.50/TB with the 5 yr warranty. Anything with a shorter warranty would make no sense.
Depends on who is honoring the warranty. They could offer a 10
year warranty and it would not mean anything if they never plan to honor it.
I would not put much stock into a third party rebadger honoring such long warranties.
