Backblaze linux server8/30/2023 I sent Gleb a link to our 6TB drives are available post and he let me now the 1/2 Exabyte figure took into account moving to 6TB disks in early 2015 (or so). For those interested, you can look at the new interactive USGS earthquake map here.įor those excited about the prospects of 6TB disks and if that means the 1/2 Exabyte datacenter will be 3/4 Exabyte soon, that is unlikely to be the case. Even with small earthquakes, for a company with tens of thousands of spinning disks, vibrations from smaller earthquakes are probably best to avoid. Sacramento has a 0.03% chance as it sits away from major fault lines. For Silicon Valley based companies much of the valley has a 40-50% probability of seeing a 6.9 magnitude earthquake in 50 years, San Francisco and Oakland have a greater than 50% chance. In California, hurricanes and tornadoes are relatively rare. Sacramento has extremely low incidents of natural disasters from earthquakes to floods to tornadoes. Unlike all of those cities, Sacramento sits inland, away from the cost and most of the state’s major earthquake fault lines. Backblaze selected Sacramento for many of the same reasons STH selected Las Vegas. For many non-California residents, Sacramento is the state capital yet is much smaller than Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose and San Francisco in terms of population. The new Backblaze datacenter is located in Sacramento, California. This new datacenter is supposed to allow the fast growing backup company to scale to over 1/2 Exabyte in the next few years. Over the last week I got an e-mail from the CEO of Backblaze letting me know that the company was going to release some additional information on their new data center which became their primary facility starting in September 2013.
