Backblaze has usually sourced their own hard drives, and I suspect they still are/will. (The post didn't seem to indicate otherwise.) Every year they post a summary of what models they're working with and how they perform, which is usually good reading. This is last year's: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/backblaze-hard-drive-stats-fo.... |

That appeared to depend on whether the vendor imposed massive markups on the drives. However they also mentioned service etc.: If they struck a deal with Dell, then Dell might be perfectly happy to sell the servers at a very modest profit while making their money on the service agreement.
