There's a paper on getting RAID reliability with up to 3% HDD failure rates. I wrote it based on my experience that field failure rates are this high, after the infant reliability demonstrated by the drive makers. (0.7% AFR is based on just a few months of testing a few thousand drives of a new model. This testing removes the infant mortality part of the FAR bathtub curve, as the CMU FAST paper shows.) Years ago, Net App showed 3% AFR data on their SCSI drive arrays.
My paper is (try Googling the title or email me for the pdf):
“Reliability and Security of RAID Storage Systems and D2D Archives using SATA Disk Drives� ACM Transactions on Storage, December 2004
