5th USENIX Conference on File and Storage Technologies - Paper

5th USENIX Conference on File and Storage Technologies - Paper

Excellent paper on Hard Drive failure rates in the real world. Interesting to note that there is correlation of (higher) failure rates between SCSI, FC and SATA drives. Additionally the authors note there is no correlation to (higher) failure rates between manufactures. They do note that real world HD replacement rates are much higher than hard drive MTTF estimates from vendors.
