File System Health & Performance Issues
Application Performance can be greatly affected by its underlying file system and server based storage performance
A single low performing drive can affect an application through its file system or server based RAID dependence
Discovering file system health issues is more complex with distributed storage systems and hyperscaled Data Center environments
Server based storage health and performance can be material in cross system interaction failures, a large reason for catastrophic occurrences in hyperscaled and large Data Center environments

Drive Reliability Concerns (HDD/SSD/NVMe)
Servers account for over 80% of Data Center hardware failures
80% of server failures are due to internal drives,which is the most replaced server component
It is estimated that over 180 Million Enterprise drives are sold to Data Centers each year. With an Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) of 0.44%, 792,000 drives will fail annually (actual deployment AFR's are reported in the 2-8% depending on the age of drives, that could be more than 14M failed drives annually!)
Drive failures are not necessarily correlated with high drive error levels. Since most error counters monotonically increase, it's the jump in errors that are key
