With such a high capacity drive I wonder if they changed anything in terms of redundancy - something like zfs resilvering prob takes days on these

- andy4blaze 6y agoAndy from Backblaze here. Larger drives do take longer to rebuild, but to date we haven't changed the encoding algorithms we built. There are other strategies like cloning which can reduce rebuild time. We can also prioritize rebuilds or drop a drive into read-only mode as needed. The system was built expecting drive failures.
