NGL, I’ve been waiting on this. I don’t trust Seagate, and it took a while for WD to do the 2 TB version.

    That’s pretty damning… I’m in broadcast engineering and deal with lots of storage myself but never followed the failing drives. I’ve had luck with Seagate in the past but I bet I’m missing the reality.

    -Funny how some brands burn you once and they’re dead to you…Seagate seems to have gone full scorched Earth.

    Is it SSD or just spinning drives?

    Edit: I got burned by WD years ago and kinda have applied it to all this stuff incorrectly too.

      It really isn’t damning. Seagate is fine as is WD, HGST, and Toshiba. They all make bad drives once in a while, none of them are perfect. Scroll to the conclusion in that link and it says the differences are not significant and there’s no clear winner or loser.
