Another smurfing seagate drive has failed today 
the last seagate I will ever trust, that's now 4 out of 4 gone bye bye. 
sad to hear of your troubles, but yes, Backblaze tracks all drive failures, and seem to agree with you
I finally bought a 4 bay NAS and run a RAID 5. I get an email if there are any problems, and as long as I only loose one drive at a time, I will not loose any data. (if I replace it before another failure)
Yup after the others failed I bought a NAS, I also use an online backup but recovering using that takes weeks/months. The online is part of the 3-2-1 backup stratergy
3 copies of the files
2 different backup media
1 off-site
I know you know that Det but just in case anyone else wonders.
3-2-1 is a smart setup, and I just did a recovery for a guy at work who had ALL of the pictures of his daughter from birth to entering college on one external spinning disk hard drive. not sure the cause, but the end result was the drives partition was not recognized. lucky for him I took several college courses on computer forensics, and was able to recover his data (88 Gig)
now he has a 3-2-1 system set up, and his wife is no longer mad at him (she thought the pictures were gone forever)
