Yev from Backblaze -> Thanks! That really is one of our goals with these updates, is for others to join us and start sharing this data. It makes a lot more sense if everyone is doing it, then we can start comparing environments, and all sorts of fun stuff!

For the Seagate 7200.14, have you checked to see if you have the latest firmware on all of them? http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/223651en http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/223651en Same for the 7200.11: http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/207951en http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/207951en

  Yup, we have top-men that are in charge of keeping an eye on firmware, if we see a need in an update, we'll do it.

    Have you been able to reach out to anyone at Seagate in their drive FA group to see if they'd be interested in you sending back samples of the failed drives?

      I assume (mentioned in the article) they get sent back for warranty RMA.

        Yes, we try to RMA all the drives that are still under warranty.

      We do have occasional talks with all hard drive manufacturers, but we can't say about what :)
