Owning both HGST and SanDisk, Western Digital have been one of the better brands out there. Granted, HGST drives are usually top performers (one of the reasons why I use them in my own personal NAS), but their price can be a bit steep for some. Since 8TB Enterprise Drives that BackBlaze uses are not cost effective for the average consumer, what would be the best for the average photographer? Based on the published findings the best drives seem to be as follows: If the sample sizes are below that, the figures can be skewed. In this case, it works out to about sample size of 550 drives. When looking at the quarterly numbers, BackBlaze recommends looking for those drives with at least 50,000 drive days for the quarter. Below are the stats for the dives in their system. The last time we checked Backblaze’s data was just last quarter 2017, since then Backblaze has added 4,921 new drives and retired 4,286 old drives as they migrated from lower density drives to higher density one, bringing the total 83,151. The storage pods at BackBlaze currently run off of off-the-shelf consumer drives, but in vast quantities, putting them the position to test the drives and report back to consumers. As we do many of the same questions arise, which drives are the best? How much storage do I need? What is the failure rate of these drives?
We all face the ever tedious task of figuring out/implementing a backup solution.
The files on the Canon 5DS R are about 60 megabytes per image, and one could assume that the Nikon D850 will be similar.
As camera manufacturers continue to push the megapixel frontier the every growing need of storage space is needed to hold the massive files.
