This should say, "major caveats". Drive that NEVER fails tells me that I can buy one and use it forever. But that is not the case because the testing is only for a limited period of time. How misleading can the title get.

The 40gb hard drive in my RCA Scenium DVR has been in continuous operation since 2003. The internal 40gb hard drive is spinning 24 hours a day 7 days a week. I use a rca tv conerter box to take the digital TV signal back to analog. The dvr records in analog. The recording are sd quality.
