Big data SSD vs. HDD, the failure rate of SSD is far lower than that of HDD, the outcome has been divided thumbnail

Big data SSD vs. HDD, the failure rate of SSD is far lower than that of HDD, the outcome has been divided

我們發現,今年來 SSD 固態硬碟正在取代傳統機械 HDD 硬碟成為主流的存儲媒介。除去價格與容量等方面,SSD 固態硬碟幾乎在各方面都完勝 HDD 機械硬碟,SSD 固態硬碟的存取速度更快、容量也在不斷增加,小巧的體積更是超薄電腦裝置的首選。而後者體積較大大,性能差,只適合當「倉庫」用。但對於那些重數據安全性的用戶來說,SSD 與 HDD 硬碟還要比較下可靠性, 於是一家名為 BackBlaze 的雲儲存服務商在近日公佈了他們近年來 SSD 與 HDD 硬碟的故障率報告。他們最新的報告顯示報告中表示在 Q2 季度末,他們有 1666個SSD硬碟,1607個 HDD 硬碟,前者出問題的有17個,故障率 1.05%,後者有 619個出問題的,故障率高達6.41%。但從數據上看確實是 SSD 硬碟的可靠性要大幅高於 HDD 硬碟,符合大家的認知。但是報告中還指出他們的 SSD 使用時間平均才 14.2個月,HDD 硬碟已經達到了 52.4個月,用的越久,故障率當然也會更高。所以他們再次進行測試,此次使用都是時間都為 14個月左右的 SSD 及 HDD 硬碟。最後的出的結論是 SSD 的故障率是1.05%,HDD 硬碟是1.38%。雖然最後一次測試中,HDD 硬碟的故障率仍要比 SSD 高,但雙方差距其實並不是很明顯。而目前的 SSD 硬碟正常使用壽命已可達 5-10 年,且由於沒有機械結構,不怕碰撞,摔落、斷電等,所以 SSD 硬碟比 HDD 機械盤更可靠,但對於普通用戶而言,這兩者的差別並不是很大,所以目前普通的電腦通常會採用 SSD…
