"Backblaze Hard Drive Stats Q3 2020"
https://www.backblaze.com/blog/backblaze-hard-drive-stats-q3-2020/
"As of September 30, 2020, Backblaze had 153,727 spinning hard drives in
our cloud storage ecosystem spread across four data centers. Of that
number, there were 2,780 boot drives and 150,947 data drives. This
review looks at the Q3 2020 and lifetime hard drive failure rates of the
data drive models currently in operation in our data centers and
provides a handful of insights and observations along the way. As
always, we look forward to your comments."
Good night, they just got some 18 TB drives. I just bought a 12 TB and >thought I was bleeding edge. I guess not.
Looks like several 12 TB drives failed early, both HGST (WD) and
Seagate. Scary stuff that.

Thanks for your periodic posting of links to these reports, and thanks to Backblaze for publishing them. They're like user reviews on steroids.

They have freaking usable data. I just wish the mainstream WD drives
were there too.

HGST is part of WD now. I think of HGST as a "more industrial strength"
line of drives -- more suitable for servers.

Somewhat more expensive and with better reliability than the WD models, although I have been using 5400rpm WD Reds in a couple of RAID boxes for a couple of years now and have absolutely no complaints about them.
