I'd need some actual uptime data to make a real judgment on their service vs their competitors,
I did an extensive interview with the Backblaze CEO. No hard data on uptime but he says they lose one drive a week from the whole 1.5petabyte system and have never had a pod fail. They've been running for a year.
Here's the link to the story. Also comments about the designing/testing process.
