Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: EMC Black Box

MTBF does not refer to any one unit but the number of units manufactured not
at the end of their life over the expected life of the product. For more
info check out http://www.hardwaregroup.com/faq/gen_mtbf.htm
Considering the number of flash modules in service today, that failure rate
is quite high. Something like every couple of hours, somewhere in the world
a flash module fails.
