From article <1991Jun10.192438.2688@eng.umd.edu>, by tgoose@eng.umd.edu (Jason Garms): > MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) is not an implied warranty! It is just > a manufacturers projection as to the life of the drive. Warranties will be > explicitly stated as such. Many companies claim 5 year MTBF but only have a > one year warranty. Fujitsu (drive original poster was asking about) and HP both have 5 year warranties on their drives. Fujitsu puts this in their advertisments along with their MTBF. I am taking the word of a few netters about HP's 5 year warranty. john gay. -- john gay. jgay@digi.lonestar.org Like Thoreau, I rejoice that there are owls. Part of the reason is that owls eat mice, and thus make a certain number of cats unnecessary, which is always a plus. Jeff Duntemann, Dr. Dobb's June '91
