Read the full Q2 2023 Drive Stats report is here, and we've added some data points and new drives to the data.

Saw this posted on !technology@lemmy.ml and thought ideal to crosspost here too

At the end of Q2 2023, Backblaze was monitoring 245,757 hard drives and SSDs in our data centers around the world. Of that number, 4,460 are boot drives, with 3,144 being SSDs and 1,316 being HDDs.

This graph looks at the annual failure rate for drives more than 5 years old. The higher capacity ones look a little bit concerning IMO. This is discussed within a short section later on in the blog post.
