Raid Failure


Hello People

I don't know if this is a right place for this question but Im gonna go ahead and ask it....

Raid can fail if 2 or more dirivers crash in short interval, if the probability of crashing a drive is 'P' what is the probability of k-drive Raid failing in a given hour?

Thank you
Karan

Smells like a homework question...

What's the probability that you will fail to learn anything by asking for all the answers online?

if you are looking for an actual number for P, the best way would be to start a thread with a poll. but since it would be an internet poll, the number you get wont be accurate because it wont be a randon sample.

FWIW, i have a proxy server and printer server run 24/7 for 5 years and the drives are still good.
