I just wish the price of 60GBish drives would take the same path the 120's and up have...

I need to scoop up a bunch of 60's for benching duty... BUT... Right now the Price / Size ratio is CLEARLY at the 120GB level.

You do realize that even at 1.2 million hours MTBF, you'd be dead before the drive is, right?

Yeah, but if it dies 3.0001 years out, it's nice to have the 5-year warranty, regardless of MTBF numbers.

That MTBF number is only if you aren't writing data to the drive.
Also, MTBF numbers are useless IMO

Oh yeah, definitely. Just thought it was a bit odd that those were added.
