The way I read the Backblaze stats is opposite - could you clarify?
* most reliable are HGST drives (model number starts with H, formerly Hitachi, such as DeskStar, UltraStar, etc., now under the WD brand), sub 1% AFR;
* then Seagate (model number starts with S), still pretty reliable at around 1% AFR, with a few exceptions;
* while the original WD (model number starts with W, such as WD RED etc.) drives are quite terrible with AFR from 2% to 5%.
(I'm looking mostly on the long term statistics, spanning at least a year, and older stats regarding WD drives, as they don't use them anymore.)
