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.
Unfortunately, that doesnât mean that a hard drive is a reliable long-term storage device. A hard drive is totally reliant on a series of moving parts â a spinning disk thatâs read by a moving arm with a magnetic head. Like anything with moving parts, it will break eventually.
