Hey Andy, many thanks to Backblaze for putting this together. Your stats are the first thing I looked at when looking for new NAS drives.

Since you mentioned cost, do you have data on average price per GB, both acquisition and electricity cost / year? With how many drives you guys bought there should be enough datapoints for a pretty neat graph.

The average cost per GB is about $0.02/GB or $20/TB for the drive. Electricity varies based on the data center and the negotiated or local rates, so harder to calc. I like the idea of the chart, but may be tough to get the right data.
