Definitely not, it's 2 years old and memtest86+, prime95, iozone and iperf for 24 hours each. These are all independent soft errors. Furthermore, I'm continually running stuff that is doing gpg signing/verification and sha256 checksums in VMs... They would fail. Also, there would be kernel panics... I've had zero.

- App Store likely has a problem with storeaccountd / installer framework from the exception traces I've seen (debug menu on).

- HFS+ can corrupt itself irreparably (it's not ZFS). BTDTBTTS.

I see. Do you use VirtualBox for virtualization? I read that the kernel modules for VirtualBox were of dubious quality.

The HFS+ problems would not be related to VirtualBox. VirtualBox gets a bad press from the Linux kernel mods too.

Apple introduced a new virtualisation framework in Yosemite, hence the rereleases of the most widely used virtualization items (Parallels and Fusion).

Hell no. Vmware.
