	Здравствуйте.
Попалась на глаза любопытная заметка:
http://blog.backblaze.com/2011/07/20/petabytes-on-a-budget-v2-0revealing-more-secrets/

А написать решил, читая вот этот абзац:

We are constantly looking at new hard drives, evaluating them for
reliability and power consumption. The Hitachi 3TB drive (Hitachi
Deskstar 5K3000 HDS5C3030ALA630) is our current favorite for both
its low power demand and astounding reliability. The Western
Digital and Seagate equivalents we tested saw much higher rates
of popping out of RAID arrays and drive failure. Even the Western
Digital Enterprise Hard Drives had the same high failure rates.
The Hitachi drives, on the other hand, perform wonderfully.

Коррелирует с наблюдаемым.
