So I was reading about the Plextor SSD drives and came across the following:
"Plextor strives to exceed industry standards with rigorous benchmark testing; before leaving the factory, each Plextor SSD is put through a 20-hour high temperature burn-in test and an intense simulation of real world environments. As a result, Plextor SSDs have a 0.59% average annual failure rate, which is one of the lowest in the industry"
So is that saying the drive has been powered on and used for 20-hours before I would even open it? Has anyone bought a Plextor SSD and checked the SMART data and it already had 20 hours powered on? Is the drive being tested like that a good thing or a bad thing?
Also I could not find an annual failure rate for other SSD makers, does anyone know those numbers for other SSD drives?
