Yev from Backblaze here -> we saw that and couldn't track it down or figure out where it came from, the post itself didn't change since we published it this morning. Sorry Notacoward :(

Yev from Backblaze here -> We've actually done a lot of experimenting and content/SEO marketing has helped us grow and expand quite a bit over the last year. As for the HDD reliability...our software works around HDD failures,

BREAKING NEWS -> There are now dates on all of the individual blog posts. The landing page is "date-free" but is in chronological order, if you open a post, the date will be below the title...AS NATURE INTENDED!

Backblaze blog folk here -> change is hard :-(

We haven't edited the current post! It does state that a year ago we published the first set, but that assumes you read last-year's post :)

Yev from Backblaze here -> it's an internal debate as to whether we should put dates on everything. It used to be that they were part of the URL (because of the way our blog was designed) but that is no longer the case. We decided t

Yev from Backblaze here -> If a disk goes bad we put the pod in a read-only mode, which limits the stress on the pod, and allows restores to continue. We then swap the drive, usually fairly quickly, but because we designed the system aro

Yev from Backblaze here -> There are certainly items related to Backblaze that we need to back up. You can exclude pretty much everything inside of the C: drive, but we do require the drive itself to be selected. Also, we chose the &quot

Yev from Backblaze here -> all of the drives in our datacenter will fail. We just report on the timing of those failures. We still buy Seagates in droves because they are a great value. As long as you have backups of the data, any drive

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

Our guess is that they kiss every one of them before they leave the factory. For good luck...

Yev from Backblaze here -> HGST is run by a completely different division w/ a different manufacturing line. So there are some difference!

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.

Yev from Backblaze here -> It should work with the 560px, if you're referring to the "share this" html code!

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
