Customers may extend the term of a one-, two- or four-year term license by purchasing an additional term or perpetual license. Note: Although the license fee is discounted, annual support for term licenses is the same price as annual support for perpetual licenses.
Reformating your drive varies with different specs. take for example, typical, A 80GB hard drive with 1GB RAM takes about 4-5h to reformat. The bigger the hard disk, the longer it takes.The lesser the RAM and processer speed, the longer it takes.In your case, i suppose ur RAM or processer speed is low...Most ppl have this problem.f you have a huge hard drive and an extremely sluggish system, it might be feasible for the format operation to take this long, but I don't believe this to be the case. I might recommend you start the format process over again and see if it takes as long. tau_zeppelin. John Â· 8 years ago.
Backblaze has kept up to 25,000 hard drives constantly online for the last four years. Every time a drive fails, they note it down, then slot in a replacement. After four years, Backblaze now has some amazing data and graphs that detail the failure rate of hard drives over the first four years of their life.ctually life of HDD depends on its usage. I believe this maximum span of 4 years, is for the hard-drives that spin continuously 24Ã7 for all 356 days.. A normal ATA drive used in PCs (assuming a maximum single time spans spin span of 9 hours) can flawlessly survive for a span of 15 years or more.
