The failure rate is Backblaze’s lifetime figure for that exact model (Source: Backblaze). Each drive's own page has the full spec and every shop we've found it in.

Best picks for the job

What we’d buy for each job on spec and Backblaze’s numbers. Once prices land, each pick switches to the cheapest drive that fits the job.

NAS and DAS boxes

How many boxes we list for each job. Prices for these land at the same time as the drives.

We'd skip these

Each one has a reason in the data, and it's on the card.

How we pick

Price per terabyte decides the list when there are prices, and the makers' specs and Backblaze's failure figures decide everything else. Every rule is written down on the method page, and no shop can pay its way up a ranking.
