Hi, well maybe not anything else but luck is what you need, airconvent. None of my hard disks died on me once. The average "time to die" for a hard disk is easily 5 to 7 years, so it's really bad luck you had one that died before 10. I've heard hard disks working for 10 years, though they must be really old and small.
