Actually, it's not uncommon for a batch of disk from a vendor (the same lot #) to have failures.
And again, a backup is fine for deleted data, or fire/ransomware. But for day to day operations, no one is really willing to wait for you to restore from a local backup, much less an offsite backup.

- greedo 3y agoI think if you had worked/managed a SAN, you might realize that a single disk failure is a non-event. I'm not talking about a JBOD or an storage shelf using RAID5, I'm talking about a Netapp or similar system that can easily handle disk failures without interrupting service.
