AllMusic	[2]

gollark: Quite impressive, really, although it doesn't do much work.

gollark: The original disk in my server has been running for about 9 years with basically no breaks.

gollark: High failure rate initially as the bad ones initially break, then low, then it goes up again as they begin hitting end of life.

gollark: They follow a bathtub curve IIRC.

gollark: The failure rate isn't constant over time.
