I wonder what this means for practical system design. Do people currently build assumptions about hard drive failure patterns into their systems, in a way that they should change? I suppose independent failure (i.e. copying data to two drives is better than storing it on just one) is the main assumption behind e.g...

Nice site. I've always believed that focussed social networks are the ones that work out in the end. However functionality-wise, the site is still very primitive. Lots of improvements are needed. Basic functionality like saving an article is absent. Anyway, I know those are on their way.

You should be able to improve over naive RAID by pairing a relatively-high-probability-of-failure drive with a low prob one. i.e. what you *shouldn't* do is the common practice of putting two new drives in a mirror, since they are both in the infant mortality part of the failure curve. What this data suggests is tha...

It's not so clear to me that a PhD is much use at a start-up in general; you'd probably learn more relevant technical skills at a regular programming job, and the mental habits you're likely to learn in graduate school will actively hurt you at a start-up. Unless you are lucky or careful about who you work with an...

There is some sampling bias in terms of what's discussed, but you can still get good information about the good moves and missteps each company has taken.

I don't think the fact that the site is written in Arc makes the site itself any more interesting. Arc is interesting, as is the fact that it's to the point where it could be used to make this site.

In case you're interested in reading the report, it's at http://216.239.37.132/papers/disk_failures.pdf at least as of 20070220. The report has quite a few graphs, but it has a surprisingly unstatistical flavour about it.

This is great. It's always a pain in the neck to open up an editor to do something as small as resize to make an avatar. Another thing I like about this is that the image is already in your browser and to-size, so you can kind of get a feel for how it's going to look on an actual page.
