Be ready to replace the disk when the warranty ends.

What’s the point of replacing them? The warranty doesn’t keep them from dying, it just means you get a free replacement. The amount of life left on the drives after the warranty expires depends heavily on how they’re used, and most self hosters are pretty gentle on their drives. I could see replacing the drives that are heavily used, but replacing all drives just because their warranty expired seems like a waste of money and effort.

Looks like they’re mainly used in Galaxy S phones and tables…
