I've enjoyed the Backblaze hard drive failure rate posts for years, but never realized they publish the underlying data! https://www.backblaze.com/b2/hard-drive

I've enjoyed the Backblaze hard drive failure rate posts for years, but never realized they publish the underlying data! https://www.backblaze.com/b2/hard-drive-test-data.html https://www.backblaze.com/b2/hard-drive-test-data.html (scroll down) It looks quite detailed--a daily snapshot of all of the SMART values for each individual hard drive.

Yev here -> Glad you like it! The SMART stats are definitely entertaining for folks who want to do a deeper-dive!

I don’t know why but every time I read one I’m never disappointed. I find the data fascinating. I wish more companies would give information like this but on memory, cpus etc also.

  You know, I'll bet Backblaze goes through lots of memory, cpus, etc, too. Yev? :)

    Hah yes, but likely not in the quantity that would make this interesting!
