The hard diskdrives are running.The lifetime of hard disk drives is limited by use. Write•errors may occur frequently after around 20 000 hoursof operation, and the head and motor deterioration mayoccur after around 30 000 hours of operation. They willreach the end of their lifetime after 30 000 hours of oper-ation if they have been used at the recommended ambi-ent temperature (approx. +25 °C {77 °F}).To prevent data loss from disk crashes, it is recom-•mended to keep the ambient operating temperature atapprox. +25 °C {77 °F} and to replace them after around18000 hours of operation.When hard disk drive trouble occurs, replace it immedi-•ately.
