It will be interesting to see how the younger model fairs over the next year.
There is little difference otherwise except the ZA250CM10003 uses less idle power, 116mW versus 185mW for the ZA250CM10002. Model ZA250CM10003 is the newer model of the two, being about one year older. While the AFR for the Seagate drive (model: ZA250CM10002) slipped in 2022 to nearly 2%. The Seagate drive (model: ZA250CM10003) has delivered a sub-1% AFR over all three years. Two of the 250GB Seagate drives have been around all three years, but they are going in different directions.Four new models were introduced in 2022, although none have a sufficient number of drive days to discern any patterns even though none of the four models have experienced a failure as of the end of 2022.
As expected, the Crucial drives (model: CT250MX500SSD1) recovered nicely in 2022 after having a couple of early failures in 2021.Below we compare the 2022 annual data to the 20 (respectively) annual data where the data for each year represents just the events which occurred during that period. The 2022 annual chart above presents data for events that occurred in just 2022. Of the three, the Seagate (model: ZA250CM10003, aka: Seagate BarraCuda 120 SSD ZA250CM10003) has the lowest AFR at 0.73%, with the Crucial (model: CT250MX500SSD1) coming in next with an AFR of 1.04% and finally, the Seagate (model: ZA250CM10002, aka: Seagate BarraCuda SSD ZA250CM10002) delivers an AFR of 1.98% for 2022.Īnnual SSD Failure Rates For 2020, 2021, and 2022 Besides the Dell SSD, three other drive models have over 100,000 drive days for the year, so there is sufficient data to consider their failure rates.By the way, BOSS stands for Boot Optimized Storage Solution. The resulting AFR is excellent, but this is an M.2 SSD mounted on a PCIe card (half-length and half-height form factor) meant for server deployments, and as such it may not be generally available. The Dell SSD (model: DELLBOSS VD) has zero failures for 2022 and has over 100,000 drive days for the year.Six of the seven models had a limited number of drive days-less than 10,000-meaning that there is not enough data to make a reliable projection about the failure rates of those drive models. For 2022, seven of the thirteen drive models had no failures.Later on we’ll compare the 2022 data to previous years. If you are just looking for SSD data, start with Q4 2018 and go forward.Īs noted, at the end of 2022, there were 2,906 SSDs in operation in our storage servers. Unfortunately, the data itself does not distinguish between SSD and HDD drive types, so you have to use the model field to make that distinction. The SSD data is combined with the HDD data in the same files.

The dataset on which this report is based is available for download on our Drive Stats Test Data webpage. In this report, we’ll show the Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) for these drive models over various periods of time, making observations and providing caveats to help interpret the data presented. There were 13 different models in use, most of which are considered consumer grade SSDs, and we’ll touch on why we use consumer grade SSDs a little later. With everything going up in price I keep looking to cut some expenses and paying $120 a year for Dropbox when I only use 300 gigs (of the 2TB) just doesn’t seem worth it when something like pCloud exists.As of December 31, 2022, there were 2,906 SSDs being used as boot drives in our storage servers. Along with storage space getting cheaper over time, I guess they got something figured out? It seems 2TB is the standard for most cloud storage providers now but 4 or 6TB should be around the corner soon and I can see pCloud making people re-pay for another lifetime plan if they want more storage and thus making them have a long term footing. I got in when it was 1TB and then they raised the price and gave everyone 2TB. I remember when Dropbox came out and it was something like 100 gigs of storage. The only thing I can think of that would keep them going is that storage needs tend to keep growing. It does worry me how they can offer such a service but they’ve been doing it since 2013 so I guess they know something? I even found an article saying that pCloud is profitable since 2019. I figure if I can get more than 2 years out of pCloud the lifetime plan will be worth it. I don’t use the drive option and only testing the “sync” one instead as it works more like Dropbox which I’m used to. Thank you for pointing out the drive problem with macOS as I never consider that. Thanks everyone for the responses so far.
