probably the one blog post I wait all year for. also a big reason that I use b2.
As always, a fascinating read. Two bits that stood out for me:
The overall hard drive failure rate for 2016 was 1.95%. That’s down from 2.47% in 2015 and well below the 6.39% failure rate for 2014.
HGST failure rate of 0.60% (across 24,545 drives).
This would suggest that hard drives are getting more reliable and that HGST is a safe bet. In my limited experience, I couldn’t agree more.
It may be an artifact; BackBlaze also rolled out a redesign of its server chassis to reduce vibration.
