15. Storage Enclosure Reliability: Analysis Of Various Enclosure Configurations With Implications On Data Reliability And Resulting Backup Applicability 11/19/2009
    When the failure of an external storage device occurs, it’s important to distinguish whether the enclosure has failed, or a hard drive inside it. If only the enclosure fails, it’s a simple matter of moving the hard drive(s) to another enclosure or repairing the enclosure, after which the hard drive(s) contained therein will once again be functional. This is a critical concept for discussing the overall reliability of hard drives, which shall be covered in later chapters of this paper. By James Wiebe, CEO, WiebeTech LLC

17. White Paper: Age-In-Place Storage: When Not To Tier And Migrate Active Data 11/12/2009
    We acknowledge the changes in file reference behavior are subtle, consistent, and complex. There are two ways to “look” at any file on a Unix file system4. The most common is with the file’s path and name, which is exactly what people and most programs do when they open or close a file as we look at a directory structure. Even so, names are not used to mange files. By Randy Chalfant
