    "As of September 30, 2019, Backblaze had 115,151 spinning hard drives
    spread across four data centers on two continents. Of that number, there
    were 2,098 boot drives and 113,053 data drives."

    That is a lot of hard drives. No WD drives unless one counts the HGST
    drives as such.

    As a general rule of thumb, I stay away from Seagate drives. Seagate
    drives appear to have gotten better but not as good as the HGST (WD ???).
