Drive Failure

I have been recently incurring drive failures. I had two 750's fail about 9 months ago and another 750 fail yesterday. What is the typical life expectancy for these drives? Is there anyone who sells them at a discount as the MSRP seems exorbitant ?:cool:
 
The 750's have been out for quite awhile, so I suspect fail rates will begin to increase. Many factors affect drive life, including the environment in which the Server operates. It does however sound as though you're experiencing a higher than normal fail rate.

PM sent regarding replacing drives.

I have a bunch of 1TB drives (and some 750's) that I have for sale...all are re-formatted and ready to go. I can sell them cheaply.
let me know.

Jeff:
Thanks for your post.
How old are the drives?
Have they been rebuilt?
How much are you asking?
Thanks!
