Comment on Hard drives on backorder for two years as AI data centers trigger HDD shortage — delays forcing rapid transition to QLC SSDs
Not sure I trust WD after the whole lying label NAS thing, the wiped drive accident, and more.
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.
