That's because no customer data gets stored on the SSDs, so they're only for the OS, temp files, and logs. Ultimately, the number of SSDs in use by Backblaze pales in comparison to the number of hard drives - check the latest Backblaze HDD report, for example, where over 290,000 drives were in use during the past year. It would be nice if the bell curve seen above also correlated with failed drives in some fashion, but with only 25 total failures during the year, that was not to be - Backblaze called its resulting plot "nonsense." There were four observations of a 20C drive, and one instance of a drive at 61C, with most falling in the 25–42 degrees Celsius range. Of course that's just the average, and there are some outliers. Anyway, if you're hoping to see stats for popular drives that might make our list of the best SSDs, you'll be disappointed. But using lots of the same model of hardware keeps things simple when it comes to managing the hardware.
BACKBLAZE HARD DRIVE STATS PLUS
They're also generally quite small in capacity, with most drives only offering 250GB of storage, plus about a third that are 500GB, and only three that are larger 2TB drives.
First, most of the SSDs that Backblaze uses aren't the latest M.2 NVMe models. Backblaze has been using SSDs for boot drives starting in 2018, and like its hard drive statistics, it's one of few ways to get a lot of insight into how large quantities of mostly consumer drives hold up over time.īefore we get to the stats, there are some qualifications. To be clear, these aren't only boot drives, as they also read and write log files and temporary files, the former of which can sometimes generate quite a bit of wear and tear. Backblaze, purveyor of cloud storage, has published the statistics for the 2,906 SSDs used as boot drives on its storage servers.
