[quote mattkime]Google did a research paper which discovered that hard drives have a relatively high rate of failure in the first few months. It doesn't make sense to swap drives because you're on a schedule.
I agree. Drives are always getting bigger, faster & cheaper. When I need space, I add a new drive. Once I hit four in the MDD, I would retire the oldest to a FW case.
I think you might increase the likelihood of getting a bad drive if you replace a proven drive with a new one too often.
