Terry Teachout (born February 6, 1956) is an American critic,[1] biographer,[2] librettist,[3] author, playwright,[4] and blogger. He is the drama critic of The Wall Street Journal, the critic-at-large of Commentary, and the author of Sightings, a column about the arts in America that appears biweekly in the Wall Street Journal.
In 2013, the site reported that 78% of its drives last longer than four years. That's not too bad, but it means that if you've been using your primary hard drive for five years, it might be time to look at a new oneâor at least back up anything important.
Fine. Natural disasters like fires, floods, hurricanes and tornados also tend to dramatically shorten the lifespan of a hard drive. Even if your brand-new 2 terabyte hard drive has no manufacturing defects, it won't last long in an F5 tornado packing 200 MPH winds.
