Sorry you 'presumed' wrong.
Your presumption shows you haven't bothered to read the paper.

Again I will quote from the paper:
<quote>
The data in this study are collected from a large number
of disk drives, deployed in several types of systems
across all of Google's services. More than one hundred
thousand disk drives were used for all the results presented
here.

Note the words "across all of Google's services"
