Incase you missed em, Seems like very model specific issues with brands, while some models are rock solid and others are, meh, ones to avoid..

https://www.backblaze.com/blog/backblaze-drive-stats-for-q2-2024/

As of the end of Q2 2024, Backblaze was monitoring 288,665 hard drives (HDDs) and solid state drives (SSDs) in our cloud storage servers located in our data centers around the world. We removed from this analysis 3,789 boot drives, consisting of 2,923 SSDs and 866 hard drives. This leaves us with 284,876 hard drives under management to review for this report. We’ll review the annualized failure rates (AFRs) for Q2 2024 and the lifetime AFRs of the qualifying drive models, and we’ll also check out drive age versus failure rates over time. Along the way, we’ll share our observations and insights on the data presented and, as always, we look forward to you doing the same in the comments section at the end of the post.

Hard drive failure rates for Q2 2024​

For our Q2 2024 quarterly analysis, we remove from consideration: drive models which did have at least 100 drives in service at the end of the quarter, drive models which did not accumulate 10,000 or more drive days during the quarter, and individual drives which exceeded their manufacturer’s temperature specification during their lifetime. The removed pool totalled 490 drives, leaving us with 284,386 drives grouped into 29 drive models for our Q2 2024 analysis.

The table below lists the AFRs and related data for these drive models. The table is sorted large to small by drive size then by AFR within drive size.

Lifetime hard drive failure rates​

As of the end of Q2 2024, we were tracking 284,876 operational hard drives. To be considered for the lifetime review, a drive model was required to have 500 or more drives as of the end of Q2 2024 and have over 100,000 accumulated drive days during their lifetime. When we removed those drive models which did not meet the lifetime criteria, we had 283,065 drives grouped into 25 models remaining for analysis as shown in the table below.
