Mean time between failure made easy A common way of measuring a design's product reliability is the mean time between failure (MTBF) calculation. Being able to accurately measure and report a ...

It concluded that hard drive failure rate was much higher (by a factor of about fifteen times higher) than that expected based on mean time to failure (MTTF) information supplied by manufacturers.

Mean time between failures (MTBF) and the related mean time to failure (MTTF) are measures of hardware reliability, usually expressed in hours. They indicate in statistical terms the working ...
