It seems that following a firmware update the reliability of these drives has improved dramatically.
The company operates drives of various capacities and ages from Seagate, Toshiba, HGST, and WDC monitoring each models annualized failure rate (AFR). Newer drives are also doing really well: 16TB WDC drives (model: WUH721816ALE6L0) and 16TB Toshiba drives (model: MG08ACA16TE) were both added in 2021, and have an AFR of 0.14 and 0.91 percent, respectively.īackblaze had also been experiencing problems with the 14TB Seagate drives (model: ST14000NM0138) in its Dell storage servers. Backblaze, a cloud storage provider has recently released their latest annual report on the performance of their 202,759 hard disks in operation.

Solid state drives ( SSDs) have come a long way in the past few years but now new data from Backblazes latest Drive Stats report suggests theyve become as reliable as.
There's a lot of information in the report to look at, but there are two standout parts from the report: Of thee, 3,760 are boot drives and 203,168 are data drives. Compared to 2017, hard drive failure rates are. ZDNet summarizes the major findings: Over 2021, Backblaze added 40,460 hard drives to its pool of drives, making a total of 206,928 drives in total. Backblaze suggests only considering drives with more than 50,000 drive days of operation and those with at least 500 drives in the sample.

Backblaze HDD report shows the resilience of hard disk drives With an almost flawless failure rate despite constant use, mechanical drives still have a place in computing.
