Robin over at StorageMojo waded think Google ’s “ Failure Trends in a Large Disk Population , ” a document that details the search locomotive engine ’s first deal experience withhard drivefailure rates by way of life of polling 100,000 of their own cause .
•First of all , Mean Time Between Failure rate intend nothing .
•Secondly , SMART ironware monitoring missed 36 % of all uh - ohs .
•Third , exploit drives give out similarly to standard drives after the first class .
•Fourth , toilsome cause historic period means less than you think .
•Fifth , failure does not go up when temperatures are mellow than common ( unless super high . )
Google even has insight on which blade that had the long life .
But decided to lead it out because that data “ was n’t utilitarian in understanding the effects of disc age on failure rate . ”
That ’s the chief jist of it . Some of this you probably knew , some of this may be myth - bust , but regardless , this is definitely of import information that needed to get out to the general world . It ’s nice to see an impartial group that has the resources to perform a heavy - scurf survey like this shed Christ Within on this topic .
