Backup bods Backblaze: Disk drive reliability improving
https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/05/03/backblaze_drive_reliability_stats/
Cloud backup bods Backblaze this week cracked open another spreadsheet and fed it some log files, spitting out a bunch of fresh drive availability stats that show a mild uptick in Seagate drive failures.
Over the last three years, the general trend for both Seagate and HGST has been that annualised failure rates (AFR) have fallen, however, Backblaze has noted a shift in the opposite direction of late.
