This year marks 13 years of collecting Drive Stats data. Thirteen is an unlucky number (to some), but we count our lucky stars (or perhaps our lucky stats?) that we\u2019ve had 13 years of this experiment<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The traditional 13-year anniversary gift is lace\u2014intricate, impressive, and vulnerable to a snag if you don\u2019t plan ahead to protect the pattern. Systems, like lace, don\u2019t survive by pretending there are no points of vulnerability. When it comes to our infrastructure, we want to build with the snags in mind to create something durable, and the Drive Stats series is always seeking to publish and provide data so that you, too, can go the distance with your drives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year-end Drive Stats report looks at Q4 2025, the full year, and the lifetime view with that in mind. I think you\u2019ll find the same things we do: over time, the patterns matter more than any single strand (or drive, to run this lace metaphor into the ground once and for all). Let\u2019s look at the stats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drive Stats is here for you<\/h4>\nDrive Stats is not a situationship. We\u2019re a conversation and a relationship\u2014to the data. Join the Drive Stats team for our regularly scheduled webinar to walk through the 2025 annualized failure rates, break down the data for interesting trends, and get the latest from the Backblaze drive fleet happenings. \n
