"Backblaze Hard Drive Stats Q1 2020"
"Backblaze Hard Drive Stats Q1 2020"
https://www.backblaze.com/blog/backb...stats-q1-2020/ "At the end of Q1 2020, Backblaze was using 129,959 hard drives to store customer data. For our evaluation we remove from consideration those drives that were used for testing purposes and those drive models for which we did not have at least 60 drives (see why below). This leaves us with 129,764 hard drives. The table below covers what happened in Q1 2020." "The Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) for Q1 2020 was 1.07%. That is the lowest AFR for any quarter since we started keeping track in 2013. In addition, the Q1 2020 AFR is significantly lower than the Q1 2019 AFR which was 1.56%." Amazing. Those drives are running in a high temperature and high vibration environment. Lynn |

WD is the premier brand now and they charge for it. Lynn |

Perce Pricing, pricing, pricing. WD is the premier brand now and they charge for it. I noticed that more than half of their drives are now 12TB or larger, although they still have more 4TB drives than 8TB drives. I suspect that the effective rent on a slot in one of their pods now dictates that they buy very large drives, even if the cost per GB is a little higher. It also looks like they are keen to test before going to the MAMR technology that WD has gone to in their new drives. -- Eradicate SARS-CoV-2 |
