Tomorrow: "In other news, it appears that Facebook has lost every pictures hosted on their services."
More seriously though, there were an interesting article on Google DataCenter and how their customize their hard drive to accommodate their needs. There was another blank paper on how, because of the massive scale of the data, Cosmic ray influence quite often data stored. And also they said in that survey that every 3 minutes one hard drive is failing in one of their datacenter somewhere in the world.
Pretty neat stuff, but I can't find the source, sorry.
