I self proclaimed "expert" tells that - no uncertain terms - that Unix (and
Linux) trash hard drives after two-three years. What he says is that
because of the heavy load that Unix puts on the heads and actuator, they
wear sooner than they would on a M$ box. Could this have been true at one
time? I've been in this game a while (albeit on the M$ side of the fence,
but on the Linux side for about 3 years now. Sounds like bunk to me. Any
thoughts?
