Thanks... I am used to using MTBF but with my work the systems never ran continuously. Now, I look back and see Annualized Failure Rate in the title of the chart.

Not sure why they would want total drive days for all those hard drives, I don't think anyone would be using them all at the same time, or even one after the other. Looks like Backblaze want to scare you into using their service.
This is why I backup all my work to Adobe CC and Amazon photos (Amazon has unlimited storage for photos with Prime membership, which I already have).
