Is it true that any hdd over 2tb is doomed to fail ?
any hdd is doomed to fail in the next few billions of years if it's not rescued by a spaceship

no i run 2x 3tb hdd's in raid 1 and they've been just fine over the past year
>>54330532
any hdd is doomed to fail
same ssds, and every single computer part
and pretty much every single thing in the universe actually

God never loved you.
How reliable is backblaze's research?

God loves everyone of us. Even us 4channers.

Your picture is very very related. They're shit.

It's a meme. It may have had some truth to it maybe in 2010-2011 but that is no longer the truth. What I'd be worried about these days are the consumer archival HDDs that are popping up.
>>54330532
I have one of those Seagate 3TB drives that Backblaze said were terrifyingly bad with a 75%+ failure rate. It's been fine for two years.
make your backups though, whatever drive you have.

1 HGST
2 Toshiba
everything else = hardware backdoor trash

Fuck, I just ordered one a few weeks ago

I have never had a problem with western digital.

>It's been fine for two years.
That was roughly how long mine lasted until it died in 0 seconds flat. The entire controller board is deader than a dodo.
>>54331105
Info dump =/= research.
>>54330532
It was a weird meme spouted by people with no backups and half a brain.
>If I have 4TB of storage on 1 disk and I lose a hard disk, I lose all 4TB
>If I have a 4TB of storage on 4 1TB disks and I lose a hard disk, I lose only 1TB
>If have a 4TB of storage on 16 250GB disks and I lose a hard disk, I lose only 250GB

>modern storage still can't compete with this
brb taking a nap for 1 billion years and when I wake up my data will be just fine

What's the best 1TB HDD to get these days?

one of professors told me that there are two kinds of HDD
1) The kind that have failed
2) The kind that will fail
he's right
>>54331205
go on?

WD green is good? It's not primary drive.

Not my hopes and dreams

woah dude

if you have backups, any drive is fine, get the cheapest one
If you don't have backups, all drives are risky
All HDDs are doomed to fail. They also fail unpredictably due to the nature of their failure. SSDs are doomed to fail and can't last as long in terms of writes, but they fail predictably.
>>54331927
It's not critical data. Just movies and pictures and music and shit I could download again if need be.
>>54332005
well if you're okay with losing the data if the drive bites it, then what brand of drive you choose doesn't really matter, does it?
>>54332014
Nigga I just want to know what a good one is.
>>54332029
He obviously doesn't know what the fuck he is talking about.
Man fuck this board. What a bunch of coy faggots.
>>54332029
>>54332041
look at the backblaze statistics. Other that the occasional specific model thats horrible, brand doesn't matter. Buy the cheapest drive at the capacity you need.
>>54332029
Any HDD is good as long as you install Gentoo on it. Science has proven that, on average, a HDD with Gentoo on it lasts 50000% longer than one that doesn't have Gentoo.

>if i have 4tb of storage on 16 250gb disks, i'm fucking broke
>>54330532
if you're asking in terms of RAID5/6, HDDs of that size (especially non-SAS/Enterprise-grade) are problematic since there's a higher chance for unrecoverable read errors which will cause RAID rebuilds to fail. You can calculate all that stuff here if you look up the LSE rate (1 in 10^14 for WD green) and the throughput (147MB/s).

Better than anyone else's, given it's the only study of it's kind. Google has some hard drive failure reports too, but I seem to recall they weren't as interesting. Hardware.fr might be another source.
>>54332188
fuck raid.
better to just backup shit you need only
>>54332029
Just get a hitachi/HGST
>>54332057
Go back to where you came from, this is not amazon
>>54331039
You got him there, in order for things to fail they need to first exist.
