I really appreciate BackBlaze opening up this data. While I don't purchase HDDs often, I always refer to these reports when deciding.
They also open sourced their server chassis which is awesome!
It's nice to see a reduction of the failure rates as a whole. It looks like the next few years will be some interesting times for the growth in storage capacities for HDDs.

- HankB99 8y agoPlease thank those responsible on my behalf (and all of the others who study the numbers before purchasing drives.)
- atYevP 8y agoI'll let Andy know - he might be around here somewhere :D
- ericd 8y agoThese reports were super helpful when we were choosing how to kit out our servers (we went all HGST as a result). It's pretty hard to find good reliability data otherwise. So, a really big thanks from us.
