Brian from Backblaze here. > They only have 50 employees We are larger than that now, but yes, still in that ballpark. > same level of reliability as the leading providers How is reliability related to number of salespeople? (That was a joke.) But seriously, we published the EXACT reliability and the design in our blog post here: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/vault-cloud-storage-architecture/ https://www.backblaze.com/blog/vault-cloud-storage-architect... In a nutshell, any one byte of data is spread across 20 different computers in 20 different physical locations in our datacenter through Reed-Solomon encoding. If we lose 3 full computers in 3 separate locations your data is still fine. We have been doing this for 10 years now, and we take it very seriously, and we have 73,000 hard drives in our datacenter. We are the only company on earth to publish our drive failure rates: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-benchmark-stats-2016/ https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-benchmark-stats-20...
