Why are mainly Hitachi and Seagate drives in BackBlaze’s data center? The company said it just can’t source other brands at the prices it wants.Backblaze Hard Drive Failure Rates, Cumulative by Quarter The annual failure rate figure is calculated based on a certain drive failing with the service life factored in to it. It’s better than a typical consumer’s sample size of one, but clearly the 22,731 Hitachi hard drives and the 36,863 Seagate drives lend more credibility to the survey.īackBlaze’s hard drive report shows lowest number of drive failures in a quarter ever for the cloud storage companyīackBlaze’s numbers aren’t quite straightforward, though. This report will review the quarterly and lifetime failure rates for our data drives, and we’ll compare the failure rates of our HDD and SSD boot drives. The boot drives consisted of 1,607 hard drives and 1,691 SSDs. Of that number, there were 3,298 boot drives and 178,166 data drives. BackBlaze has just 238 Toshiba hard drives in service, with Western Digital drives pushing the sample to 1,691. As of June 30, 2021, Backblaze had 181,464 drives spread across four data centers on two continents. ![]() ![]() Hard drives from Toshiba and Western Digital are also represented, but one weakness of the data is the much smaller sample size. That’s good, but the overall winner is still Hitachi, which has tracked at just about 1 percent for the last three surveys. This time around, though, Seagate dropped its failure rate to 3.48 percent on a total 36,863 drives. ![]()
