You mean the company that compared 35,000 Seagate drives to 45 HGST drives?

Why care about failure rates? Just backup often.

Backup where?
I've actually been thinking about running RAID as it seems low effort and convenient but I don't know.

blue black red purple who cares itll fail eventually

wd reds have issues according to backblaze and anecdotally I know someone that received a batch of 6 where half were DoA, but even if you don't trust blackblaze, and I wouldn't blame you, why wouldn't you go for blacks with their longer warranty?

raid isn't a backup solution it's a redundancy solution
