Introduction Despite the importance of monitoring HDD and SSD health with tools like HDDLife and SSDlife, data backup remains essential. Modern storage devices—both HDDs and SSDs—have become more reliable, but they aren’t immortal. According to Backblaze research, the annual HDD failure rate is around 1.7%, while SSDs have lifespans limited by write cycle counts. Human
AI in HDD and SSD reliability analysis: New Horizons In today’s world, artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming an integral part of various technologies and processes. From medicine to the automotive industry, we encounter its applications every day. But have you thought about how AI can help in the area of data storage? Specifically, could it
Studies about HDD temperature conducted by Google and Backblaze in the same breath conclude that “As long as you run drives well within their allowed range of operating temperatures, keeping them cooler doesn’t matter” and argue “…the lack of a consistent pattern of higher failure rates for higher temperature drives…”. The bottom lines of the
