<br />
Law Firms hoping to run on old hardware may run into unwanted down time and at the worst data loss.<br />
<br />
IT shops will recommend replacing old hardware after 4 years.<br />
<br />
But people considering that all old hardware just runs and never fails may bulk at the statistics.<br />
<br />
Hard drives fail a lot and can fail at any time,<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Year 1, 5.1% chance of failure</li>
<li>Year 2 -3, 1.4% chance of failure</li>
<li>Year 3-4, 11.8% chance of failure </li>
<li>Year 5, > % of failure</li>
</ul>
<div>
Interesting to note hard drives are most reliable in their 2nd to 3rd year.</div>

<div>
Consider at the very least replacing hard drives when their old or having a set of spares for when they fail.</div>
