where it says: : Most age-related results are impacted by : drive vintages. However, in this paper, we do not show a : breakdown of drives per manufacturer, model, or vintage : due to the proprietary nature of these data. what a pity! it would have been so great to have had an objective assessment of reliability by manufacturer. i've found it really quite hard to find useful data to indicate how reliable a drive might be.
