It's too soon to make hard inferences, however 1,220 Seagate 10TB drives were put into benefit without a solitary disappointment. Congratulations to the assembling and building groups that made that conceivable.

THE STORAGE BITS TAKE 

It's great to see that hard drives are getting more dependable, even as limits twofold and triple. We've additionally known for 10 years that "shopper" drives are practically as dependable as "big business" drives, and that is likewise affirmed. 

It would be great if Backblaze would take after a few groups of crashes into maturity. Purchasers might want to know to what extent a dependable drive is probably going to last. Five years? 10? Three?

They keep controlling up, regardless of my not as much as perfect condition. Maybe old drives are a sensible document medium.
