In the 2015 edition of their hard drive reliability report, backup service provider Backblaze finds that once again, HGST drives are the most reliable. Seagate drives have improved markedly since the previous report.

While it could be argued that Backblaze’s use of hard drives differs considerably from that of typical computer users, the report is still useful as a general indication of the relative reliability of the major drive brands.
