I do notice problems however with drives used in crappy PC setups (with improper cooling) and there you do see a spike.Īnyhow, I am not saying I'll "never" use backblaze, but for now I will avoid them (and don't need them). I send back quite a few RMA to both companies, and can't say one is worse than the other. For every Seagate dead drive, I have a dead WD drive. Hitachi in the last years seems to be the most reliable (not to say that will never change - many of use rememeber the Deathstar days), but Seagate and WD are pretty much at par. Each vendor has their good models/batches and their junk models and batches. I go through over 3000+ drives/year and I can tell you from experience that Enterprise vs Desktop drives makes a huge difference in long run, and they run a lot cooler. ![]() And in a datacenter environment, even drive orientation makes a difference (horizontal vs vertical ) etc. Using Desktop class drives instead of Enterprise class drives and then running some dumb correlation to prove "to themselves" that it makes no difference, and temperatures play no factor either is just nuts. Something about BackBlaze's skewed HD statistics also doesn't sit well with me. Well, for my current needs, Glacier is fine and easily integrates into my Synology NAS (backblaze is a pain for that - I don't want to start playing with iSCSI on another PC, etc. iders.html), a direct competitor of Amazon S3 or Glacier.

Only Business accounts are apparently.įor now, I use my Synology stations as my primary clouds and I have about 200GB on Glacier (which apparently this is what Zoolz uses) for an additional redundancy for irreplaceable personal files, and the price is still quite reasonable (less than $40/yr even with a few restores). So by default, personal account data send and stored on thier servers is NOT encrypted. they scan filenames for copyright violations. However quick google search also shows that you need to be careful what you backup to their cloud. So is it 1TB or unlimited ? A little confusing. But then on thier web page, they say "Ability to backup unlimited External (USB, eSATA, Firewire) and Network drives". Love the price, but this is a first I've heard of them till now.Īlso, they say 1TB lifetime. Super easy to use - but not an automated backup solution.Įmporium wrote: ↑OK. It's got the same interface as any file transfer client, ftp, torrent, whatever. (I'm not affiliated with them in any way, i just like the product). Better safe than sorry.Įdit: I should add that fast glacier is amazing and worth the money if you want to go pro. If you have to retrieve the data it costs a lot more, but hopefully you don't have to. and have about 400gb'ish stored, and it costs me $2.50 or so a month. I back up all my pictures, important docs, etc. But it's a 'backup' solution - not a storage solution. I personally think using amazon glacier is the best backup solution, and have mentioned this before. I backup to multiple internal and external drives locally but also to the cloud (not google or live) To pay for this, it is not worthy.ĭepends on what type of tolerance you want, really. Besides, use some online free drives like Google and Live. Wxw2015 wrote: ↑For the personal data safety, I suggest to backup with own hard drives.
