Quote:Disk Drive Failures 15X More Frequent Than Manufacturers Advertise No boinking wombat poo poo they fail more often than advertised.  We had a 2-month-old drive fail late last night on one of our servers. Ask me if I went to bed last night.  Quote:no evidence that Fibre Channel (FC) drives are any more reliable than less expensive but slower performing Serial ATA (SATA) drives The loser drive was a SATA.
