Paul,
You can go to the Backblaze.com site and read their blog. Backblaze seems
to be a great low cost backup service. They use Linux in their servers,
but there is not a Linux backup agent for them. ... Kind of a bummer. (I
use Crashplan mainly because Backblaze doesn't do linux backups).
The
I find it hard to believe that:
56,000 drives, all running at once
that's a lot of HDD's for sure!

I was thinking about my fileserver, running FreeNAS. In that case,
SMART status is preinstalled and really easy to configure, in terms of
sending alerts.
If SMART status is a reliable measure of when a drive is about to
fail, then it's foolish not to use that to get advance notice. Of
course, if
This is a good feature IF you have software that is actively monitoring the
SMART data of your drives, sending out alerts/emails AND someone is paying
attention to those alerts/emails.
I believe that most people are lazy and won't actually install software to
monitor their drive health, so buying
Hmmm... Sounds like me. Always dropping a few zeros.

A hugely relevant stat, one that I consider at least as helpful as the
overall drive failure rate, is the observation that the Seagate drives
are more reliable in predicting their failure via SMART status. This
means we can use the prediction to know when to purchase new drives
and migrate data, p
Jack, I make that mistake all the time - '1 and 2G drives' - it's hard to
keep up. Really.

They have taken all the 1 and 2G drives out of service. Replacing them
with mainly 4G some 6G drives.
Looks like Hitachi (or whatever it is called now) seem to have the
reliability lead!
