People will write a poor review versus a good one 5 to 1. I read that somewhere.

The reason for high failure rates for things like hard drives also comes down to the user who is trying to install. Some of the reviewers leave clue to why the disk failed and you can only laugh. For instance some users complain of a disk failing in RAID, and yet some of these drives specifically say they cannot be run in RAID.

Wireless routers failure rate is based completely on user stupidity. They think they work out of the box or don't realize that they might need an Ethernet cable to set them up correctly.
