  1. Storage Enclosure Reliability: Analysis Of Various Enclosure Configurations With Implications On Data Reliability And Resulting Backup Applicability 11/19/2009
    When the failure of an external storage device occurs, it’s important to distinguish whether the enclosure has failed, or a hard drive inside it. If only the enclosure fails, it’s a simple matter of moving the hard drive(s) to another enclosure or repairing the enclosure, after which the hard drive(s) contained therein will once again be functional. This is a critical concept for discussing the overall reliability of hard drives, which shall be covered in later chapters of this paper. By James Wiebe, CEO, WiebeTech LLC
