My read was they they aren't switching over everything - they are testing new drives, to figure out what reliability looks like.
Once the cost curve costs over, they will then know which vendors drives to go all in on.
- lucb1e 12y agoOh, that explains, thanks :)
- delucain 12y agoYeah, I don't think they replace drives in pods until they fail. Even if they're old 1TB models. The drive costs just outstrip their infrastructure costs by so much that 4 racks of 1TB drives is still cheaper than retrofitting even 1 rack with new 4TB drives.
