"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).
