On-Rev server Pancake problems - old backup restored?

[Jerry Jensen]

Thanks, Richard. Interesting data in that article.
I’ve been buying HGST Ultrastar drives. I’m surprised to not see them mentioned in the article. I prefer them for their 5 year warranty, which implies that they may last longer. The price difference is not much compared to what a failure costs in time and aggravation. I don’t have thousands of them, like backblaze, but maybe a dozen. So far I have no failure data because there have been NO failures.
