- metadaddy 3y ago> Do you put official, expensive Dell drives in there Absolutely not! The Dell servers have a similar mix of drives as we use in the Backblaze pods and SMC servers. We added a 'datacenter' field to the Drive Stats data in Q3 2023, so you can download the CSV files and see exactly what's deployed in ams5.
