My backup strategy is kind simple. I have another box filled with hard disk to where I copy data using Beyond Compare. I have also some automation scripts that synchronize some drives between my DAW, my working development machines with the drives of back up box.   It is not perfect as I uselessly keep the backup box off and turn it up juts to backup the things. I feel it is better to keep the backup box off line. Perhaps I need to use HP’s ILO to schedule the boot the box and do automated backup.

Anyhow, it is not the point that I at trying to make.  I use PC from beginning of 90s and I never had any single hard drive filed on me. Back in end of 90s I ran a development team which included international environmental QA lab with around 60 machines cranking data 24/7. There was never HH failure. I do not say that HH are reliable but I never had them. The last week I had one. Furthermore, believe me or not, but among 4 HH that I bought last week one of them had failed on third day.

It might be a consequences but it might be a sign of something. Last month, I for a very first time in my dealing with desktop computers engaged the Windows functionality to turn off hard disks if they do not read/write data more than 30 minutes. The next month I lost 2 hard drives. Consequences? Might be but might be not.

I think it is related. When a HH spins it feels perfectly fine. The HH today all have air suspension and bearing do not wear. So, I presume the HH is get problems not because it spins but because the spinning start and stop. Can anybody to corroborate on it?
