Paul ( from Pauls Hardware) said that they didnt use the lesser drive because they did not have a big enough sample on the 1TB 750 and 500gb HDDS

Computers have issues with 3TB?

 

/racism

 

But 40% failure? Lordy. Imagine if GPUs or CPUs had 40% fail rates. Or cars.

 

My 1TB isn't featured. I take that as positive... :mellow:

CPU: AMD 7800X3D Motherboard: NZXT B650E RAM: 32GB 5600 30-CL Corsair Vengeance DDR5 GPU: MSI Gaming X Trio RTX 2070 PSU: Corsair RM850i Monitor: Samsung 27" 4K thing Cooling:Noctua Chromax Black NH-D15: Case: NZXT H510 Black
