Not burning, not really. But crashing hard disks, yes — one every year. I am not the only one playing this game, but I'm afraid I may be among the champions. Fact is, the high failure rate seems to occur only in portables. The desktops are happily crunching year after year like popcorn, they're just fine.

Is this okay, doc?

What about you — how often do you kiss your HDDs goodbye?
