<\/p>\n

As of December 31, 2022, we had 235,608 drives under management. Of that number, there were 4,299 boot drives and 231,309 data drives. This report will focus on our data drives. We\u2019ll review the hard drive failure rates for 2022, compare those rates to previous years, and present the lifetime failure statistics for all the hard drive models active in our data center as of the end of 2022. Along the way, we\u2019ll share our observations and insights on the data presented and, as always, we look forward to you doing the same in the comments section at the end of the post.<\/p>\n

2022 Hard Drive Failure Rates<\/h2>\n

At the end of 2022, Backblaze was monitoring 231,309 hard drives used to store data. For our evaluation, we removed 388 drives from consideration which were used for either testing purposes or drive models for which we did not have at least 60 drives. This leaves us with 230,921 hard drives to analyze for this report.<\/p>\n

Observations and Notes<\/h3>\n

One Zero for the Year<\/h4>\n

In 2022, only one drive had zero failures, the 8TB Seagate (model: ST8000NM000A). That \u201czero\u201d does come with some caveats: We have only 79 drives in service and the drive has a limited number of drive days\u201422,839. These drives are used as spares to replace 8TB drives that have failed.<\/p>\n

What About the Old Guys?<\/h4>\n
