Seems the failure rate of those is rather high. https://blocksandfiles.com/2020/02/13/seagate-12tb-drive-failure-rate-backblaze/ Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association) ID: 2032324 ·

We had $11,600 about 2 months ago for them and a lot of donations after that. So I was hoping to get an update since it's been a couple of months since we reached the fund raising goal. ~Chris ID: 2034794 ·

Maybe Mr. Kevvy has some insider information. Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association) ID: 2034831 ·
