I believe the SG failure stats are largely dominated by a specific model line which is no longer produced. I bet SG will recover next year when we see these. Keep in mind these stats reflect the AFR of drives, which in some case can be several years worth of data.
I wish backblaze would share some data around accelerated lifecycle testing.
- theandrewbailey 10y agoYou could argue that Seagate has already recovered. That 4TB Seagate model (ST4000DM000) is doing pretty well. From the chart, it's Backblaze's most popular model by far, and they've been using it for at least 2 years. Its failure rate is lower than most WD models they have.
- deelowe 10y agoYes. From my experience they have though the performance of those 2Ts definitely hurt their reputation a ton. Might be a while before SG becomes known as the standard for quality again.
