#2>> HGST, Seagate and Western Digital drives all have the serial number of the drive on the top end of the drive. Toshiba drives do not.
Is simply printing and adding a label to each hard drive not enough, is it too error-prone, or what?

Scrawling the last three digits of the serial number onto the drive end with a permanent marker would probably suffice.

I wish they fed that to a sound synthesizer with a 'Borg' voice. Coolest datacenter ever.

In Mac OS X Terminal:
say -v Trinoids "Failure: Disk 0491/sdag doesn’t contain a valid partition table. Pod0491: Replace sdag (Z252A34AS) with a new 3TB Toshiba DT01ACA300. Reboot Pod0491 and re-add new sdag to sync. Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own"

Thank you. That made my day. My son and I are going to have some fun with this one.

Yev from Backblaze here -> The drive manufacturer won't do it for us (at least not at our scale). We're currently chatting to some channel retailers that would be able to do it for us and allow us to scale a little bit. It was discouraging us from buying in larger quantities, but if the price of the drive + labeling works out, we'll try some larger orders.
