Drive Type Comparative Reliability Statistics

Forum Storage : Hard Drives Drive Type Comparative Reliability Statistics

Word :    Username :           
 

Can anyone point me to a statistical comparative analysis of drive type (SAS vs. SATA, for example) reliability based on empirical field data (actual failure rates) as opposed to theoretical MTBF figures?

Thanks!

The best study that I have seen to date is by Google (it's not too specific though in regard to SAS vs. SATA):
