Brian from Backblaze here. It completely, utterly blows my mind that we are the first and still only company to do this.
First of all, it is a great way for people to hear about our company, which sometimes leads to people buying our products and services.
Second, even just for the good of all humanity, why wouldn't you do this to promote the best drive manufacturers and heck, even help them learn how their drives are working in the field?
It boggles my mind that Facebook, Yahoo, Google, and Amazon (Amazon Web Services include S3) don't publish their drive failure stats. What could possibly be the reason they keep silent?
