On another note, BackBlaze has published its Hard Drive stats for 2020:
https://www.backblaze.com/blog/backblaze-hard-drive-stats-for-2020/

For drives which have less than 250,000 drive days, any conclusions about drive failure rates are not justified. There is not enough data over the year-long period to reach any conclusions. We present the models with less than 250,000 drive days for completeness only.
For drive models with over 250,000 drive days over the course of 2020, the Seagate 6TB drive (model: ST6000DX000) leads the way with a 0.23% annualized failure rate (AFR). This model was also the oldest, in average age, of all the drives listed. The 6TB Seagate model was followed closely by the perennial contenders from HGST: the 4TB drive (model: HMS5C4040ALE640) at 0.27%, the 4TB drive (model: HMS5C4040BLE640), at 0.27%, the 8TB drive (model: HUH728080ALE600) at 0.29%, and the 12TB drive (model: HUH721212ALE600) at 0.31%.
The AFR for 2020 for all drive models was 0.93%, which was less than half the AFR for 2019.
And here's a comparion of the last three years:
