thank you for this.
can you speak to the retention rate post culling using your proofing? And do you have preferred manufacturers?
Also, do you bother to do "the trick" where you zfs across heterogeneous SKUs to reduce the risk of use-case-coupled failures?
- rsync 6y agoI don't have real numbers for this but I feel like post-burn-in retention is very high - like 99%. We do not have preferred manufacturers. Data suggests that Hitachis are better than Seagates but I reject this kind of Ford vs. Chevy preference in hard drives - the "good drives" can flip immediately - with new model or even new revision of existing model. I don't think it makes sense to try to pursue a particular manufacturer. FWIW, we have bought a ton of seagates over the last four years and they have been fine.
