Backblaze announces SSD failure rate in 2022: less than 1%

CTOnews.com March 10 news, cloud storage provider Backblaze recently released its SSD failure rate report, which uses SSD as the boot disk in its storage server to detect the failure rate of 2906 SSD.

Image source: Candra DPCTOnews.com learned from the report that most of the SSD used by Backblaze are not the latest M.2 NVMe models. Because these SSD are mainly boot disks, most of the disk capacity is only 250GB, and there are only three models for the 1/3 model 500GB and 2TB.

The report shows that seven SSD models have zero failure rate, but only the Dell DELLBOSS VD model has a large sample size, with a total of 411. The sample size of the other six zero-failure SSD models is a little small, of which the fine Seagate 500GB has only 2 ZA500GM10001. Taken together, the average failure rate of 2906 SSD is 0.98%.
