Last week, three 4328 (140GB) drives in two servers failed within the same hour. But with the 4326 we do not had any failure in the last 4 years. As soon as there is no failure of two devices in a RAID set, we are rather relaxed as we have more than 100 units 4326 in stock - they had been cheap and are still in use by older systems.

Until now, the disk with the highest failure rate were the good old 6713 if i remember correctly. I do not have a good statistical overview at the moment. We have more than 3000 disks spinning at the moment and about 2000 out of service within the last 10 years - maybe it would be worth the efforts?
