Backblaze has said in the past that they don't buy enterprise drives because they didn't notice any difference from consumer ones. I don't know if that's still their policy.

The large Toshiba drives they're using are enterprise drives. A couple of weeks ago these drives were among the cheapest (€/TB) drives to get here in the Netherlands, so I assume Backblaze just bought them because of their price.
