4、Wear-out FailuresDrives in a server or storage system in the datacenter may be rejected at a higher rate than baseline.Examples:System-wide offline events,performance variations,excursions,etc.Some heavy datacenter workloads and high temperatures may accelerate some HDD fail modes.Typical rejection
5、target 1%/yrCategorizing Datacenter HDD RejectionsGROUP 1:NTFNo trouble found with a return to service recommendation.Some portion of these may fail again and land in a category below.GROUP 2:SINGLE-HEAD FAILURESMay be resolved by Drive Regeneration/Depop.Can represent 40%+of failures.GROUP 3:DECOMM
6、ISSIONTypically the smallest group of failures recommended for decommissioning.On 20 head/10 disk drives,95%+of the good capacity may be preserved rather than discarded.Hundreds or thousands of rebuilds may be significantly reduced or prevented entirely.Methods for Managing Hard Drive FailuresHDD Te
