Great to see this every year.
Although a minor pet peeve (knowing this is free): I would have loved to see a 'in-use meter' in addition to just 'the drive was kept powered on'. AFR doesn't make sense for a HDD unless we know how long and how frequently the drives were being used (# of reads/writes or bytes/s).
If all of them had a 99% usage through the entire year - then sure (really?).
- MrDrMcCoy 2y agoProbably can't say too much, but I know that the I/O on these drives stays pretty consistently high. Enough so that Backblaze has to consider staying on smaller drives due to rebuild times and the fact that denser drives really don't stand up to as much abuse.
