I wonder how many consumer HDDs can survive that load. I would be shocked if datacenter-grade drives fail after only 361 days of continuous load.
- userbinator 10y ago80MB/s sequential reads or writes is probably something consumer HDDs can survive for several years. The platters are always spinning, the only difference is that now the drive is continuously reading or writing what's under the head. It's the random accesses (and associated seeks) which stresses them. There are various comparisons out there which conclude "datacenter-grade" is largely a marketing/warranty thing; the drives themselves may be nearly identical in design.
