Backup Your Data (or Kiss it Goodbye)

Scientifically, a study by Google of 100,000 hard drives, showed:

• The rate of failure is higher for the first few months.
• The failure rate for hard drives in service for only two years was eight percent annually.

In other words, one-out-of-every-twelve hard drives fails in the first two years.

Similar results were obtained by another study.
