Yes, albeit with slightly contradictory results to the other significant
paper on disk failures that was presented at the same USENIX conference.
You can read the papers here:

http://www.usenix.org/events/fast07/tech/schroeder.html
http://labs.google.com/papers/disk_failures.html

They make for interesting reading.
