Pretty interesting. I like how the author talks about how it may be too early to get useful data yet since their non-helium drives have been online for much longer.
It'd be interesting to look at the numbers again in two years and see if the guess is correct.

- tux3 9y agoIf the AFR numbers follow some bathtub-shaped curve, would it make sense to use that curve to "normalize" the failure rates according to drive days? I always wonder if the rates we see for each drives are really comparable, since they all have different ages, and whether that's representative of the average lifetime AFR. That might be an interesting column to add to the reports!
