Post subject:  Hard drive reliability white paper

Here's a link to a summary of an interesting hard drive reliability paper.

http://storagemojo.com/?p=383

It may lose some of you in parts, but it's very interesting reading. A few points it makes:

Consumer drives are no more likely to fail then big business drives
RAID is pointless, just mirror your data
hard drive manufacturers lie about reliability (duh!)

Anyway, good stuff., thought I'd share.

What a dissapointment - I thought this was going to be about some form of paper hard drive.

Hehehe, yeah, me too. :)

Can you link me straight to the paper tho Satis? lots of links on the page and too lazy to check which one I gotta click. :)

I'm pretty sure the budget Maxtor disks will be at the bottom end of the spectrum. :roll:

I had a quick scan of the page - it paraphrases most of the important bits Oxy ;)

yea, that's why I linked StorageMojo... the actual paper is here:

http://www.usenix.org/events/fast07/tech/schroeder.html

and the link to FAST07 (the forum where the paper was presented) is here:

http://www.usenix.org/events/fast07/

Both of which were in like the first few paragraphs. :roll:
