Yup. All drives kick the bucket at some point. That's why I use BB. I don't trust myself with NAS.
The ones that never failed me were any drives made by Quantum using SCSI interface. 5 drives, zero failure over 10+ years. But those were slower and cooler running units.
- kstrauser 3y agoI’ve got a NAS backed up to Backblaze. It’s a nice setup. I can quickly recover from local data loss, or replace a RAID disk when needed, but if the NAS gets hit by a bus then I still haven’t lost everything.
- pcurve 3y agoThat is a nice setup since it minimizes recovery time to nothing. I'm guessing you're using their B2? I've had 2 drive failures since using BB so it's been worthwhile. But their Download software is pretty dreadful if you have large amount of files. I may try their ship-drive option next time. Tracking their stock price, they are operating pretty lean, so I don't fault them for having crappy software.
