"As of the end of Q1 2023, Backblaze was monitoring 241,678 hard drives
(HDDs) and solid state drives (SSDs) in our data centers around the
world. Of that number, 4,400 are boot drives, with 3,038 SSDs and 1,362
HDDs. The failure rates for the SSDs are analyzed in the SSD Edition:
2022 Drive Stats review."

According to the Backblaze data, it is still better to pay extra over
Seagate and buy the EDC drives.

Too bad they don't test 2.5" ext. USB HDDs. Maybe someone else does?
