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 hard drive failure rate, over the first four years.
