whatever else they're they're not going to be accessing it necessarily you know nearly as much so an 800,000 hour meantime between failure might also be okay and last but not least because these cloud storage applications are moving away from being so dependent on raid and moving more towards redundancy as opposed to and and replication as opposed to complicated raid controllers all of a sudden we're in a situation where if a drive suddenly dies you might have time to at your leisure replace it because you know that that data is replicated in a couple of other places so customers such as
