I love these reports! I'm always in the market for new storage solutions and find these statistics very useful in determining which brands and drive sizes provide the best reliability.
One statistic I'd really like to see included is the disk usage of each drive as a percentage of their total capacity. Would there be any correlation between that and the failure rate?
- atYevP 9y agoIf you look at the full data set it includes SMART stats which I think has percentage of space used and/or available. Not 100% sure about that.
- eljimmy 9y agoAhh yeah I was looking through the SMART stats but wasn't sure which item denoted this, is it perhaps: "Minimum Spares Remaining - The Minimum Spares Remaining attribute indicates the number of remaining spare blocks as a percentage of the total number of spare blocks available."? (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T.) edit: No that can't be it. Maybe this data isn't available, hmm...
- viraptor 9y agoI believe smart would not be able to account for the use size correctly. Since that system lives in the drive itself, it can't really tell the difference between "this block has been initialised and is unused" and "this block is storing some data".
