We have a disk fail about once a month, on average I think. Most in the bigger/newer RAID6 arrays, surprisingly rarely in RAID1 or RAID5, but they're usually smaller and older drives. Modern 2/4/6Tb SAS drives are a lot more prone to failure than ancient Compaq (9/18/36Gb drives:-)
I'm on a roll! three 6TB and two 4TB within the last two months. One 4TB went out yesterday. Disappointing.
BTW, no data lost, all arrays were many-disk RAID6.
Wow. Just two days ago I migrated my last 500 GB disk in my computer to a new 3 TB disk. It had 25000 hours of use, and is still good, says smartctl. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
