Spot the Backblaze hot sauce. 🔥 A day at AIAI Boston: dozens of conversations about AI infrastructure and storage, and by close, every bottle of hot sauce was gone. AI may be the hot topic, but our hot sauce gave it some competition. #Backblaze #AIInfrastructure

20TB+ drives just crossed a quarter of our fleet. Manufacturers are already roadmapping 40TB now, 100TB by 2029—and getting there means changing how drives physically write data. We cover how, and what it means for reliability reporting, in this post. hubs.ly/Q04z_07F0

Lukka moved nearly 3PB of active blockchain data to Backblaze B2, creating a shared data layer for compute in AWS Frankfurt and its on-premises data centers. The case study explains how it supports continuous ingestion and 9PB+ monthly reads outside AWS: hubs.ly/Q04C8rLW0

Every zero/one-failure drive model this quarter was a Seagate. One good quarter isn't a verdict on a manufacturer — but it's a clean one worth flagging. Watching next quarter before we call it a trend.

SF Tech Week. TechCrunch Disrupt. Two Afterburns. Backblaze + Flamethrower.

Building something data-heavy? hubs.ly/Q04Bs9r30 #SFTechWeek #TechCrunchDisrupt

Seventy-two hours on a train. Five new products. Team Skipper took on a familiar problem — meetings — and won Rocket Mixer's Coast-to-Coast Startup Lab. Backblaze supported Demo Day as a Gold Partner. #SFTechWeek

Our 10TB Seagate posted a 9.33% AFR this quarter. Sounds alarming until you see the count: 22 failures out of 965 drives. Small population, big-looking percentage. This is why we publish raw counts, not just rates.
