I wish you luck in keeping the disks running that long. ;)
3 x 1 power supplys and high output fans. These are the same units I
sell through Solera Networks (I am
using the same manufacture I contracted with for Solera),
They are installed with Wikipedia instead of solera networks software
(forensics tracking software is optional),
and these units seem to go for about 4 years before needing hard drive
swapouts in only 2 % of cases.
The massive airflow keeps the drives cool and they seem to go over 48
months before I start to see any sector failure issues
even in the most severe writing cases (which DSFS the file system I
wrote for Solera is extremely write intensive).
