How common are power supply failures in comparison to hard disk failures?
- by Adrian Grigore
Hi,
My webhost offers two different types of high availability options for dedicated servers:
Redundant hard disks (RAID1)
Redundant hard disks (RAID1) plus redundant power supply
How common is a power supply failure in comparison to hard disk failure? I know it's not possible to know the exact figures without knowing the exact hardware, but ballpark figures are good enough for me at the moment.
Thanks,
Adrian
