So far we're only replacing about one drive per month. The oldest EVA is roughly five years old.
Well, according to that google report you can expect to see a significant rise in replacement rates, I'd wager.
Google's report is about commodity PATA / SATA drives. Those EVAs have quality SCSI drives. They are far more rugged than PATA/SATA and they are designed to work hard their entire life. (ie. IIRC 20% duty cycle is the design goal for PATA/SATA, 100% duty-cycle for SCSI) There really is a reason that SCSI costs more in general, and HP uses good SCSI drives on top of that.
