"At the end of Q1 2020, Backblaze was using 129,959 hard drives to store customer data. For our evaluation we remove from consideration those
drives that were used for testing purposes and those drive models for
which we did not have at least 60 drives (see why below). This leaves us with 129,764 hard drives. The table below covers what happened in Q1 2020."
"The Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) for Q1 2020 was 1.07%. That is the
lowest AFR for any quarter since we started keeping track in 2013. In addition, the Q1 2020 AFR is significantly lower than the Q1 2019 AFR
which was 1.56%."
Amazing. Those drives are running in a high temperature and high
vibration environment.
