Yea fair point, might just be easier to order the 500GB ones through our suppliers along w/ our hard drive purchases, but yea, we might go down to SSDs soon. We're constantly iterating on these things.

Heh, any place where I have to request a quote before they show me a price makes me nervous :D

Sounds legit to me...

We do, but man do I gotta get that page updated. Looks like we forgot about it while updating the site. Sad panda bears.

You'd think it would be HUGE but it's not, just a side-benefit. We'd love for it to be bigger, but, it's kind of up to the people. If you're a happy Backblaze customer though...might I refer you to our handy dandy r

Not 100% sure if we've given that any thorough testing, but the ops team is looking at most available options before building these out. That said, if they haven't tried it, they'll read this and give it a go :)

Yev from Backblaze here -> That is boilerplate for the most part, but it's open source, have at it!

Yev from Backblaze here -> We're pretty excited about it. Beta users are providing some good feedback too! We think it'll definitely be the right choice for a lot of folks!

Awesome! <3

Good question! As part of the process for developing these we spend months and months using AGILE/SCRUM to iterate and come up with a "final answer" (though we're constantly still iterating). So it's not so much tha

We've got that coming up with Backblaze B2, we have APIs and CLIs that you'll be able to use for Linux builds and servers! If you go to: https://www.backblaze.com/b2/docs/ you can read our docs!

Yev from Backblaze -> Currently we don't have a Linux interface, but when we launch Backblaze B2 you'll be able to use APIs/CLIs to push your Linux data to us.

Yev from Backblaze -> We don't need the boot drive to be that "large", but it's more of a pricing thing. An SSD, even at 256GB would be more expensive than those 5400RPM drives, so we just go with what's cheap :)

by atYevP 11y ago
Yev from Backblaze here -> You're welcome! We're always pretty stoked to do these, even though it does indeed take a lot of man-power to put together. The nice thing is, it's actually helpful! A lot of organizations, compa

Prices for the HDDs themselves? Doubtful, but maybe. The nice thing about consumer-grade HDDs is that consumers are not very price elastic, meaning if consumer HDD prices go up too much, consumers will just stop buying them (we saw this hap

I don't know...what department are you in?

by atYevP 11y ago
Yev from Backblaze here -> Not necessarily, it just means that if we had a set of those drives and replaced them multiple times over a given period, that number can be quite high. We're comparing the drives that failed against the n

I thought my department was in charge of release timing? Engineering be damned!

Did you sign up on the site?

by atYevP 11y ago
Yev from Backblaze here -> Yes, you could get a URL and give it to somebody. Every time that person accesses it though, there'd be a charge (unless you're within our free parameters). If I understand correctly...

Yev at Backblaze -> So pleased to hear your say that! I'll forward it to the engineering team. They have LITERALLY been working nonstop on this for a year and deserve some praise! Thank you for signing up, I'm excited for you t
