Backblaze, which is a cloud storage/backup provider, publishes drive failure statistics for their roughly 160,000 drives. They mostly use fairly large drives (lots of 12-16 TB) from a few different manufacturers (including lots of Seagate drives). Their stats may or may not be of use to you when selecting new drive(s), but it’s interesting to see anyways.

Hi,
2 of my harddisks are failing, so I need to buy something fairly
soon. I haven't bought a harddisk for a long time. Has Seagate
improved their quality? Or, should I go with Western Digital as I
usually do?
