Yev here -> There's no way to avoid drive failure. We circumvent drive failure issues by using our vault architecture (https://www.backblaze.com/blog/vault-cloud-storage-architect...). It's essentially like a giant RAID++. Anything mechanical will break down eventually, which is why we try to push people towards having backups - the more copies of the data you have the less chance you have of all those mediums failing simultaneously, resulting in loss.
