Did you read Backblaze drive stats reports such as [1]? Who do you think prepare them?

AI investors have vast interest in staying on top of what’s going on. It’s wise to follow them. Everyone is biased, including you and myself.

The black blaze stats were published by AI investors?

Or given the HDD setting, HDD investors? Are you sure they weren't published by the technical people that actually analyzed the failure rates of disks? ... instead of polling for opinions from Internet strangers, on platforms that are full of bots?

Huh? The authors of Blackbalze report are obviously bias since HDD is their business. That doesn’t make their reports less worth reading.
