    those are interesting links. I just went off of backblaze reports for hdd failures, and it looked like Western Digital had some of the best results

      At some low-failure-rate point the risks of those ‘couple of drives’ you would own don’t really mean much difference in irl probability of failure.

      Def good info to avoid high-failure-rate drives tho.
