Which shows 43% annual failure rate on the seagate 3TB drives. It's clear that particular model of 3TB drives were just a bad product. But not representative of Seagate as a whole.

I know I've seen similar failure rates from other manufacturers (Western Digital, Fujitsu) but those don't happen to be listed on the backblaze report.
