I’d love to know this as well. Dell doesn’t have anything remotely close to what Backblaze was designing/building themselves.
So did they do something custom (unlikely at this volume) or did Backblaze change their hardware approach?

It's their PowerEdge MX platform, which allows you to slot in different "sleds" for storage/compute etc. as needed. It can take 7 storage sleds for a total of 112 drivers per chasis.
