Comment on Say Hello to the World's Largest Hard Drive, a Massive 36TB Seagate

Makes me shudder. I have to replace a drive in my array, because it is degraded. It’s a 4TB. Imagine having to replace one of these. I’d much rather have a bunch of cheaper drives, even if they are a bit more expensive per TB, because the replacement cost will eventually make the total cost of ownership lower.

So if you have been around long enough you might remember the Hitachi (IBM) deathstars wizardprang.wordpress.com/…/the-last-deathstar/
I see Hitachi and think no fucking way, where as Seagate I used to see as an always yes. Now I just stick the disks in a zfs array and call it done
What I’m really waiting for is large capacity ssds with sata.

Yes I remeber Deathstars. However, these past years I perfunctorly peruse Backblaze’s yearly drive failure reports, and have noticed a trend, which is that most drives are fine, but every year there are a few that stand out as very bad, and they usually Seagate/WDC.
Exceptions yada, yada
