My Capstone Project: Datacenter Hard Drive Failures
On a team of four, predicted early hard drive failure. Backblaze is a cloud storage site that provides open source data on the hard drives utilized in their data center. The dataset was created by retrieving this data from 2016 – 2019 and aggregating the data by serial number using Apache Spark. After aggregation, the dataset was consolidated enough to use pandas for the remaining analysis. A SVM model was developed to predict early failures using SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) stats. The findings were used to make clear recommendations regarding hard drive reliability based on a given hard drive’s manufacturer, model, and capacity. Deliverables include presentation slides, an analysis notebook, and a reliability index for top and bottom hard drive model.
