Andy at Backblaze here: Good to know. We used to do this with the lifetime stats, but that got lost somewhere along the way. I'll look at getting them back. Thanks.

Can you publish the survival (Kaplan-Meier) curves? I think it's more useful to analyze hard drive failure rate as a function of drive-age and/or lifetime-hours and not how many hours the drive was used this year. The annual failure rate of a drive is different between a new drive and a 10-year old drive.
I really appreciate it. Thanks, Andy!
