Note:Thedrive typedoesn’t enter into the equation at all. Sure, SAS disks will perform better than most SATA disks, but that’s only because SAS disks are generally used for enterprise applications due to their often higher reliability as proven through their mean time between failure (MTBF)...
ReliabilityComputer programsSubroutinesParametersProbabilityAcceptabilityNomographs and tables based on the Poisson distribution are provided. The graphs give the mean time between failures (MTBF) from test data at one sided confidence boundaries. Operating characteristic (O-C) curves for fixed time life ...
