2.5 Mhours MTBF equates to 285 years. That's a long time.
On any kind of large-scale installation you need redundancy, but if those numbers pan out then you could expect any single SSD to outlast your organisation.
Take backups anyway.
- tw04 12y agoAt what duty cycle? The MTBF rating means literally nothing without that detail.
- _dark_matter_ 12y agoI just want to point out that is not how MTBF works. MTBF (and MTTF) are used in a group of components, and cannot be used to estimate lifetime of a single component. This does not say that, on average, each component will last 285 years. This says that, given a group of components (if you bought 2.5M of them, for example) there will be a failure every 2.5 Mhours of operating time (so for 2.5M components, every hour one will fail).
