> The AFR for 2020 dropped below 1% down to 0.93%. In 2019, it stood at 1.89%. That’s over a 50% drop year over year... In other words, whether a drive was old or new, or big or small, they performed well in our environment in 2020.
If every drive type, new and old, big and small, did better this year, maybe they changed something in their environment this year? Better cooling, different access patterns, etc.
If this change doesn't have an obvious root cause, I'd be interested in finding out what it is if I were Backblaze. It could be something they could optimize around even more.
