So how many more stories of these drives being absolute garbage do we all have?

Of all the drives I’ve ever owned. From Hitachi, Maxxtor, Seagate, Western Digital and others…this is the only one I’ve had that died. Apparently this is a trend with these particular drives?

This one is currently a paperweight

I got burned by some Seagate drives… about 25 years ago. And never bought another. Western Digital for me…
