I don’t know why but every time I read one I’m never disappointed. I find the data fascinating. I wish more companies would give information like this but on memory, cpus etc also.

You know, I'll bet Backblaze goes through lots of memory, cpus, etc, too. Yev? :)

Hah yes, but likely not in the quantity that would make this interesting!

As someone who runs a tiny archiving operation (about 70 hard drives) I find these stats invaluable and am so grateful to you for publishing them! You make it a lot easier to navigate an expensive and intimidating world of hardware options.

Yev here -> Glad you enjoy them! Thanks for reading!

Yep, the latest pods have 60 drives: https://www.backblaze.com/b2/storage-pod.html

Using 16TB drives you will get 9.6 Petabyes of storage per Pod 6.0. It would fit you circa 21,276 blu-ray rips.

You mean Linux ISOs.
