“Backblaze Drive Stats for Q2 2023”
https://www.backblaze.com/blog/backblaze-drive-stats-for-q2-2023/

“At the end of Q2 2023, Backblaze was monitoring 245,757 hard drives and
SSDs in our data centers around the world. Of that number, 4,460 are
boot drives, with 3,144 being SSDs and 1,316 being HDDs. The failure
rates for the SSDs are analyzed in the SSD Edition: 2022 Drive Stats
review.”

“Zero Failures: There were six drive models with zero failures in Q2
2023 as shown in the table below.”

Wow. I just bought a 12 TB WD External USB drive a couple of months
ago. I am staying with WD drives. Not perfect but very very good.

My last two drives were WD externals, that I immediately shucked and mounted
internally. No problems so far.

The last couple of drives that I've had problems with have been Seagates. I
know, single data points mean nothing, but I'm thinking I should maybe stay with
WD at this time.

Not sure if it's related, but I get the Newegg newsletter every day and they
always have listings for Seagates drives at steep discounts. I can't remember
the last time I saw a discount on WD, although I may have missed it.
