"Backblaze Hard Drive Stats Q3 2020"
"Backblaze Hard Drive Stats Q3 2020"
https://www.backblaze.com/blog/backb...stats-q3-2020/ "As of September 30, 2020, Backblaze had 153,727 spinning hard drives in our cloud storage ecosystem spread across four data centers. Of that number, there were 2,780 boot drives and 150,947 data drives. This review looks at the Q3 2020 and lifetime hard drive failure rates of the data drive models currently in operation in our data centers and provides a handful of insights and observations along the way. As always, we look forward to your comments." Good night, they just got some 18 TB drives. I just bought a 12 TB and thought I was bleeding edge. I guess not. Looks like several 12 TB drives failed early, both HGST (WD) and Seagate. Scary stuff that. Lynn |

If I lose one, though, that's a lot of data to lose at one time. |

I would guess too expensive compared with Seagate and HGST. Lynn |
