I don't think you're reading the results properly.
- thinkling 8mo agoI think they are reading it correctly. Year 1, they touched one drive and left 9 untouched. Year 2, they read one additional drive and left 8 untouched. Etc.
- monster_truck 8mo agoThose drives aren't being read
- Springtime 8mo agoYes, it's also confirmed on the OP's blog linked in the post.
- angry_albatross 8mo agoWhat do you think I am I reading incorrectly? The post seems pretty clear: "I filled 10 32-GB Kingston flash drives with pseudo-random data." "The years where I'll first touch a new drive (assuming no errors) are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 15, 20, 27" And from the blog: "Q: You know you powered the drive by reading it, right? A: Yes, that’s why I wrote 10 drives to begin with. We want to see how something works if left unpowered for 1 year, 2 years, etc."
