    Is there something similar for SSDs?
    • tehbeard 5y ago
      The report does discuss SSDs, and it looks like they'll have SSDs as part of reports going forward. There's also a link in their to their earlier HDD Vs SSD post, But afaik there's no existing long term reports on SSD failure rates in this kind of setting.

Wonder how many of 12K listed were refurbs, how old were those when purchased, and if Backblaze got Smart wiped drives.
