Backblaze again demonstrates the reliability of hgst drives

Games are taking up more and more space because having a large capacity hard drive is becoming almost essential, given this situation it is more important than ever to know which brand is the most reliable to minimize the risk of data loss. Backblaze has released exciting new data on HDD reliability.

HGST hard drives are still the most reliable

Traditionally, HGST hard drives have been shown to be the most reliable on the market, this makes them especially appreciated by users who store large amounts of content locally. Backblaze has once again demonstrated that HGST remains the best choice for mechanical disk reliability.

SSD vs HDD: Everything you need to know

The 4 TB HGST hard drives have shown a failure rate between 0.19% and 0.45% in the data centers that Backblaze has mounted and that represent some 22, 000 units of these drives, so very significant data can be extracted. This makes them very reliable hard drives since their failure rate is exceptionally low, if we compare it with Seagate we realize right away that the 4 TB drives of the latter have had a failure rate of 2.89%, which is 6.42 times more than HGST disks. Seagate's most reliable drives have been 10TB drives with a failure rate of 0.9%. In the case of WD it is even worse with a failure rate of 4.53% on its 6TB models.

This demonstrates once again that HGST hard drives are the best option for computers that require large doses of storage, since their failure rate is very low and the sale prices are infinitely lower than those with the drives. SSD of equal capacity. The latter have brought a revolution in performance, but today they cannot overshadow mechanical disks when it comes to balancing performance, price and capacity.
