Backblaze are/were bootstrapped. They don't have the money to burn to move outside of the sweetspot $/GB - so their logic starts with which size drive is expected to be cheapest per GB in the next 12 months. I remember some of their old posts explaining why they made the jump from 2 to 3tb drives - they are slightly more expensive today, but we expect them to go down in price soon.
