Backblaze disclosed that its 10TB Seagate hard drives recorded a 9.33 percent annualized failure rate (AFR) this quarter, with 22 failures from a total of 965 drives.
The company emphasized that such percentages can appear alarming in smaller populations and cited this as a reason for publishing both raw failure counts and rates. This approach provides investors and customers with transparency around operational reliability.

Backblaze previously reported that its overall drive failure rate had climbed to 1.73 percent, with most incidents involving older units and certain Seagate models, according to company data. The firm has also enhanced operational tools, enabling a true silent install for its Computer Backup service on Mac, as detailed in a recent release. These steps reflect continued attention to both reliability and service deployment for customers.
