A sortable comparison of hard-drive and SSD reliability, grading models by observed annual failure rates.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-12 issue.
For
Drive buyers and storage administrators comparing model reliability
Worth noticing
Each row shows drives in use, drive-years, and failures alongside annual failure rate, keeping the size of the evidence visible.

Field notes

The listings can be sorted by column and narrowed through capacity and manufacturer links. Each row pairs the annual rate with drives in use, drive-years, and failures, so readers can see the exposure behind a grade. The SSD section describes its entries as mostly small boot drives in Backblaze servers and warns that they are not directly comparable with hard drives.
