The Mean Time Between Failures, or MTBF, for this SSD is listed as 1,500,000 hours.
That is a lot of hours. 1,500,000 hours is roughly 170 years. Since the invention of this particular SSD is post-Civil War, how do they know what the MTBF is?
A couple of options that make sense to me:
- Newegg just has a typo
- The definition of mean time between failures is not what I think it is
- They are using some type of statistical extrapolation to estimate what the MTBF would be
Question:
How is the Mean Time Between Failures (MTFB) obtained for SSD/HDDs?
