The actual case scenario is a disaster, a mishmash of sound changes that resemble precisely nobody's accent. Again, that's the *best* case scenario for this theme. Even if this puzzle had Nailed It, conceptually, managing to turn ordinary phrases into phrases that sound like a Bostonian was saying them, it would've been corny and old hat. The fact that this saw the light of day indicates that Sunday submissions must be at dire, emergency levels. This is the most ill-conceived, DOA Sunday theme I can remember seeing. A few say she invented the aulos or double-flute, though most mythographers credit Marsyas with its invention. In late Classical times she was named muse of lyric poetry and depicted holding a flute. Called the "Giver of delight", when later poets assigned roles to each of the Muses, she was the muse of music. In Greek mythology, Euterpe ( / juː ˈ t ɜːr p iː/ Greek: Eὐτέρπη, Greek pronunciation:, Ancient Greek: "rejoicing well" or "delight" from Ancient Greek εὖ 'well' + τέρπειν terpein 'to please') was one of the Muses, the daughters of Mnemosyne, fathered by Zeus. Word of the Day: EUTERPE ( 38D: Sister of Erato).

In aggregate, the number of drive days is still on the lower side, but the obvious difference in the AFR between the HDD and SSD boot drives is eye-opening." Going forward, Backblaze says it will take a look at data showing HDD failure rates in their early years of use and compare it with SSDs for a more accurate picture, as well as build a library of SSDs for its storage farm.THEME: "New England Chatter" - I have no *&$%ing idea what is happening. "None of the models by themselves had enough drive days to be statistically relevant. An important factor here is the drive age, which can skew the data somewhat in favor of SSDs and was the reason why Backblaze didn't break them down by their individual models. The failure rate for these drives has been compared with another group of HDDs that Backblaze says have been performing the "same functions in the same environment" over time. Instead of regular HDDs used to store data, and which make for an overwhelming 98 percent majority of the company's 175,443 total drive count, these SSDs are only used for booting its storage servers, keeping log files, and other diagnostic data.

The other two drives are much newer additions to this testing, and include the Toshiba 16TB MG08 series that have an average age of just over 4 months and Western Digital's 16TB Ultrastar drives, whose average age across 520 units is just 0.4 months.Īnother interesting insight this time around (and going forward) is the addition of reliability data for SSDs, which Backblaze says it started using just over two years ago. Among these are Seagate's 6TB and Toshiba's 4TB disks, which have an average age of almost six years with lifetime annualized failure rates - April 2013 to March 2021 - coming in at under 1 percent. However, even this preliminary data - for the latest quarter - shows a noticeable difference between annualized failure rate (AFR) for both categories, standing at under 1 percent for SSDs and just over 10 percent for HDDs.įor its latest quarterly report on hard drive reliability, Backblaze notes four models that stood out with zero drive failures through the first three months of 2021.

As Backblaze notes, these drives are fairly recent compared to their HDD counterparts (fewer drive days). Bottom line: In addition to the quarterly reports on HDD failure rates published by Backblaze, the cloud backup and storage company has now added SSD boot drives to its data starting with Q1 2021.
