November 20, 200916 yr I stumbled across the report linked below which was published by Google in 2007 analysing the correlation between disk failures and several factors like temperature, drive age, SMART report attributes etc. It is based on the huge amount of data available from Google's own systems. Although a bit old there was still some interesting and surprising facts revealed in this report. So dig in if you like some semi-heavy reading! http://labs.google.com/papers/disk_failures.pdf
