“For the past ten years we’ve been capturing our Drive Stats report data to inform our own purchasing strategies as one of the many inputs into understanding our environment so we can adjust when and as we need,” said Andy Klein, principal cloud storage storyteller at Backblaze. The primary drives (by size) which are “driving” the increased lifetime annualized failure rate are the 8TB and 10TB drives, which were some of the oldest drives managed by Backblaze. This rise was expected as the age of the fleet continues to increase and is not necessarily a cause for concern given the inescapable reality of the cloud storage business is that drives fail. The biggest change was that the average failure rate (AFR) for Q2 2023 was 2.28%, up from 1.54% in Q1 2023.ĬIO INFLUENCE News: Contrast Security Releases Assess Feature for LLMs to Protect Against AI Security Threats
