Backblaze has just released their hard drive reliability stats for Q1 2016. Once again, HGST leads the way for reliability.
Backblaze just published their hard drive reliability stats for Q3 of 2015. Again, what sticks out to us is the extreme failure rate of the Seagate ST3000DM001 3TB hard drive.
We've seen several Seagate 3TB DM series hard drives in for recovery within a few days of each other. These are more specifically model ST3000DM01. While the DM series of Seagate drives have been problematic, the 3TB model seems to be by far the worst.
Just a reminder to Mac users. When upgrading to El Capitan, the installer defaults to turning on FileVault encryption on your hard drive even if your drive wasn't encrypted before.
