I'm constantly debating in my head whether to buy or not a RioCar unit.

Now I'm wondering, the most likely part to fail would be the hard drive, and that's removable.

What developers think could be the reasonable lifespan for the rest of the unit? Considering that repairs, I guess, would be harder and harder to get.


So far, since 1999 or so, I believe we've only lost a few of the thousands that were made. And those were due to direct abuse (vandalism, botched repairs, etc..).

They should last just fine until the capacitors all dry up.
