Google’s worrisome analysis of Modern Hard Drive failure rates.

In mid-February 2007, the Google Labs researchers at Google released their findings discussing and describing the surprisingly low reliability of their more than 100,000 hard disk drives which they use within their Internet search index and other applications. The numbers showed that MUCH higher drive failure rates after two and three years than were predicted by any manufacturer reliability statistics.

Here is a link to the PDF of Google’s research report:
