Bad power or heat?
My server died again. Looks like the MTTF of a server in a non-climate-controlled shed in the middle of nowhere in rural Japan is ~12-18 months give or take. Useful data point.

Probably humidity and bugs, the crawly kind.

When I lived more inland, the summers were so warm that I’d lose at least one spinning hard drive each year in the computer in my bedroom.

Would that be a good use case for sealed helium drives?

That’s not very precise I think you need a larger data set for meaningful data :p

I've had similiar stats over the years with SOHO type enviroments. I always assumed dust and humidity.. Even with fanless SBC servers

If it’s sort of a budget affair then that sounds right. Gotta do some Linux md raid for sure

Ceph. The disks are fine actually, it's just the server itself dying.

I have two hp cubes running 24/24h since about 2014. Only recently had the first major glitch on one of them - even that seems more than software glitch in the bios triggered by a failing sdcard. Eastern europe, no climate control. Hp cubes are as entry level servers as can be.

Eastern Europe is probably a very different climate from rural Japan. Especially regarding humidity.
