No idea if there is anything on the same scale as Backblaze’s reports.
Can you tell us anything more about the project/constraints? E.g. is it an option to write the data to Amazon S3 for reliable storage…?
- wp381640 5y agoThanks for the link - checking it out now We want to ship the users a USB stick which they'll then plugin during setup and it'll save a (password protected) private key to it for long-term backup along with some metadata So the goal would be that we can read the stick if plugged in again after a year, or two or three even after it has rattled around the bottom of a drawer or cabinet somewhere I've found that it doesn't require much in terms of minimum unit order numbers to get a custom build - but I'd like to have a source of reliability data that is independent. I'm contemplating doing a test lab ourselves - buying a bunch of keys and putting them through their paces, as there seems to be a real gap in comprehensive testing+benchmarks here
