"Hard Drive Stats for Q3 2018: Less is More"
"Hard Drive Stats for Q3 2018: Less is More"
https://www.backblaze.com/blog/2018-...failire-rates/ "As of September 30, 2018 Backblaze had 99,636 spinning hard drives. Of that number, there were 1,866 boot drives and 97,770 data drives. This review looks at the quarterly and lifetime statistics for the data drive models in operation in our data centers. In addition, we’ll say goodbye to the last of our 3TB drives, hello to our new 12TB HGST drives, and we’ll explain how we have 584 fewer drives than last quarter, but have added over 40 petabytes of storage. Along the way, we’ll share observations and insights on the data presented and we look forward to you doing the same in the comments." That is a lot of hard drives. And no SSDs (cost ratio still too high). Lynn |
