  Hard drive reliability white paperHere'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. _________________ They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

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.  _________________ "I find a Burger Tank in this place? I'm-a be a one-man cheeseburger apocalypse." - Coach |

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. _________________ They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. |
