"Backblaze Hard Drive Stats Q1 2019"
"Backblaze Hard Drive Stats Q1 2019"
https://www.backblaze.com/blog/backb...stats-q1-2019/ "As of March 31, 2019, Backblaze had 106,238 spinning hard drives in our cloud storage ecosystem spread across three data centers. Of that number, there were 1,913 boot drives and 104,325 data drives. This review looks at the Q1 2019 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. In addition, we have a few questions for you to ponder near the end of the post. As always, we look forward to your comments." Uh oh, those 12 TB Seagates are trending up. I suspect that they are not helium drives. I wish that they had more WDC drives but apparently they are driven by economics and WDC drives are definitely more expensive than Seagate drives. I do not think that HGST drives are old WDC drives but I could be wrong. Lynn |
