Failure rate is the frequency with which an engineered system or component fails, expressed in failures per unit of time. It is usually denoted by the...

Annualized failure rate (AFR) gives the estimated probability that a device or component will fail during a full year of use. It is a relation between...

concept must be related to the dangerous failure rate of a system, not just its failure rate or the failure rate of a component part, such as the software...

drive does not relate to the drive's failure rate. A 2011 summary of research, into SSD and magnetic disk failure patterns by Tom's Hardware summarized...

manufacturers typically specify a mean time between failures (MTBF) or an annualized failure rate (AFR) which are population statistics that can't predict...
