Massive Google hard drive survey

Google Hard Drive Survey - Endgadget

Some interesting stuff in this report from Google Inc.

"Resuts point to "drive manufacturer, model, and age" as being the primary factors that induce hard drive failure""

"We find, for example, that after their first scan error, drives are 39 times more likely to fail within 60 days than drives with no such errors."

Ace, shame they don't name and shame :( But I will for them :D Maxtor are pants, Segate and Western Digital Rule the world!

They won't name & shame until the bidding war for adverts on the page is over. Sceptic? Me? Aww come on!
