Disk Failure Rates and Error Rates -- ( Off topic: Jim Gray lost at sea)
...m/research/pubs/view.aspx?msr_tr_id=MSR-TR-2005-166
That is the paper in which Jim Gray coined "Mean time to data loss".
It''s been quoted here before.
Sad note: Turing award winner Jim Gray has been missing now for two

at http://openphi.net/tenacious/

chance to contribute yet. The basics should include
your name, your organization, your country and city,
and the project you''re
