Speaker: Bernhard Hiller, Western Digital Corporation Abstract: Hard Disk Drives (HDD) and Solid-State Devices (SSD) are the storage work horses in today’s data world. At Western Digital Corporation, we are in the unique position to have in-depth insights into reliability assurance methods for both technologies. We will discuss interesting commonalities, differences, and opportunities, with focus on Data Center and Enterprise devices. Speaker(s): Bernhard Hiller Agenda: 6:15 PM – 6:45 PM Check-in, pizza, networking 6:45 PM to 8:00 PM – Talk and Q&A Room: Laurel Room, Sunnyvale Community Center, 550 E Remington Drive, Sunnyvale, California, United States, 94087

This session on reliability engineering/technology will focus on reliability engineering as an engineering discipline and profession that is critical for today's complex and critical systems, and reliability technology as a constantly evolving technology in electrical/electronic/mechanical system design and development. This session will also focus on the history of IEEE reliability standards and the latest standards being developed by IEEE to move reliability engineering and technology further. Examples of IEEE reliability standards will be provided. Also, excerpts from my first book, Design for Reliability (DfR), by Raheja and Gullo, will be provided.
