G'day all
A month or so ago there was a fresh round of discussion on the relative merits
of the different flavours of hard disk storge.
As usual, we're all looking for some Real World (TM) numbers. I doubt this
counts but I came across a prezo from Seagate and Microsoft (so it's obviously
in PowerPoint format):

Check out slide 21.
Probably not worth taking toooo seriously given it's from a HDD
manufacturer who
one might suspect is more interested in selling more expensive
product. Also not
a lot of details on the actual testing.
Whip on over to Seagate's website, and I'll bet you'll find plenty of
reliability data, with actual test results, Weibull distribution
parameters, etc. This is a big deal for buyers of drives (even in
consumer applications.. they need to accurately predict how many
warranty returns they'll get) so there are very good statistics and
predictive numbers.
Anyhoo... more fuel for the next round ;)
Cheers
