That's a poor analogy to try to discredit my point. For traditional drives, such testing would reveal whether or not a drive came from the manufacturer with a defect that would show up quickly in the hands of the user. I've had two of my backup drives fail within two cycles...something that may have been uncovered if I'd done something similar prior to deploying them into rotation.

My point was that a reseller who does this amount of testing is more likely to understand the failure rates of the products they sell and doesn't sell crap.
