It's not fucked at all, it (like the 60gxp, 120gxp and a few others) are NOT RATED for continuous service. Yep, that's right. You read correctly. Those fancy deskstar drives are only rated for about 40 hours per week of use. What's that? You leave your machine on 24/7? You work more than 40 hours a week? Too bad...your fancy deskstar POS drive is not rated for that use.

It's true.

Read the fine print.
