Antec Solo II HD suspension bad for drives?
Posted: Thu Apr 26, 2012 7:29 am
Thanks in part to the great reviews here at SPCR, I just picked up an Antec Solo II.
The retail tech tried to talk me out of buying it, claiming that Solo II's HD suspension system increases the risk of HD failure.
He claimed that the vibration of the free-floating drive will cause the drive to be in constant motion and that this slight motion will stress the read/write heads of the drive, which will need to compensate for the motion, and that this extra stress will shorten the life of the drive.
Anyone heard this claim before or have any thoughts on it?
thanks!
