My Capstone Project: Predicting datacenter hard drive failures using Spark and Python
The goal of this project was to predict and classify which hard drives models have high or low reliability. Working in a team of four, my project partners and I utilized data provided by BackBlaze. Identified the primary drivers for early failures in hard drives that BackBlaze uses to store customer data in their data center. Together developed a model to predict early failures using SMART Stats features found in the data. Used our findings to make clear recommendations regarding hard drive reliability based on a given hard drive’s model type, manufacturer, and other criteria. Our deliverables included presentation slides, an analysis notebook, and a hard drive models reliability index.
