<div dir="ltr">Backblaze, which is a cloud storage/backup
provider, publishes drive failure statistics for their roughly
160,000 drives. They mostly use fairly large drives (lots of
12-16 TB) from a few different manufacturers (including lots of
Seagate drives). Their stats may or may not be of use to you
when selecting new drive(s), but it’s interesting to see
anyways. </div>

<br>
2 of my harddisks are failing, so I need to buy something
fairly soon. I haven't bought a harddisk for a long time.
Has Seagate improved their quality? Or, should I go with
Western Digital as I usually do?<br>
