uhhuh Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I have seen a lot of references to Backblazes hard drive statistics, but I haven't seen anyone post about their actual builds & implementation lately. Some of the things they account for blow me away. I would never think about the suspension on the truck/van used to transport the units to a data center. It really is an interesting read, and it can really give you a different perspective to the design of your box. I would suggest reading them all in order. They all make a ton of references to the previous articles. 1. https://www.backblaze.com/blog/petabytes-on-a-budget-how-to-build-cheap-cloud-storage-2/ 2. https://www.backblaze.com/blog/petabytes-on-a-budget-v2-0revealing-more-secrets-2/ 3. https://www.backblaze.com/blog/180tb-of-good-vibrations-storage-pod-3-0/ 4. https://www.backblaze.com/blog/backblaze-storage-pod-4/ Link to comment
