About
No channel description available.
Video Description
I perform an in depth AFR (annualized failure rate) analysis on 10Tb, 12Tb, 14Tb and 16Tb hard disks using 230,000 drives SMART data as a data source. We find out which manufacturers perform best, and which models are the lemons to avoid. All these vendors state their drives have an AFR of 0.35%, but who is really giving the accurate picture?
