Backblaze, a cloud service provider, has released some HDD reliability statistics on the drives they've been using. Hitachi's drives have proven to be the most reliable (that really surprised me) and Western Digital coming in 2nd place. Seagate was a very distant 3rd place. Their failure rates are abysmally high, at least for certain models.
