    Honestly, they are pretty damn stressed devices though.

    If you think about it, they are on 24/7, with active usage at least 4-6 hours a day, exposed to god knows what humidity, unknown low and high temps, dropped every x days. It’s a modern technological miracle that they last as long as they do. Lots of read and writes with photo and video backups.

    My 5 year old X died a month back (flash memory failed), I was actually impressed that it lasted that long.
