Anyone can comment on server lifetime of 5 years? I would think it’s on the order of 8-10 years these days? Cores don't get that much faster you just get more of them, etc
Ok that is just fud and i was asking about servers themselves - disks can be swapped.
> 5 years would be a very good lifetime for a heavy use server, especially HDs.
Read Backblaze report - a lot of their HDs are over 8yo and the afr is less than 2%. SSDs will actually fail faster under heavy write load around 5 years yes
