WD all day everyday

WD>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Seagate because fuck them for my lost 3TB of porn

Hitachi is the only correct option. I have a one terabyte drive from like 2008 and it still works fine.

Either.

give it back, john

Seagate is fine, just don't be a retard

Hitachi is owned by WD now.

Had a Hitachi die on me after like 2 years.
Was a 2.5in tho

Why did samsung stop making drives? I have 3 1tb spinpoints used daily for 10 years no problems

stop sinning

Not sure, never used seagate, but the two WD blacks I use are roughly ten years old, I never had an issue with them and they passed check up test perfectly. the only WD drives that failed on me are some that I found in a box somewhere.

both

Only drive I've ever had fail was a spinpoint

I only trust WD, all the hard drives I've ever bought from them have never failed.

If those are the choices: WD. But Toshiba is also a good alternative.

Seagate drives have the worst quality of all and have very high failure rates. And their service is pathetic. I actually did RMA one of the 3 TB Seagate drives that failed me. They sent a dead drive back (it was dead on arrival, anyway).

I had a WD Black fail on me a month ago. It was a 640 GB HDD made in 2009 that I probably bought around that time. I don't really hold that against WD since 7 years of constant (ab)use isn't bad - but I wouldn't trust my data to those 10 year old WD blacks you're using. If they are part of a RAID set with newer drives then fine, but if they are not then you should expect to lose data.

The failure of my WD blacks due to age do cross my mind often enough despite everything seeming fine, so I at least somewhat know the risk I'm running. That said, I don't expect either drive to live past the next few years so getting an ssd soon is going to be on my priority list.

Who the fuck buys a 3TB drive?
also
>Seagate drives have the worst quality of all and have very high failure rates.
This meme is getting old. I've got 8x 2TB seagates that have been in my server for 2 years now. They're fine.

I have an old Inspiron that I want to stick a mid-size drive into and use as a home server for VPN and some file storage, is this possible and what drives should I get?

WD is superiour

>even considering seagate

Shame on you.

Seagate is better

10TB while WD is stuck at 6TB

Stagnation, less cache, less storage, high prices, WD is DOA

Mate I own an 8TB step up

no, only WD blacks stop at 6TB. WD Golds go up to 12TB while be able to do everything that the other HDD types can do.

let me rephrase that, WD Golds go beyond where WD Blues and Blacks stop which is 6TB

I've been using the same 80 gig drive for close to ten years now. What do you even need more space for?

My WD has survived 4 years so far of running day and night. Just bought the same one today to do a back-up on.

For 2.5" external drives you have to go with Seagate because WD solders the USB to the HDD while Seagate still uses a converter board.

Toshiba also solders the USB directly to the HDD on their 2.5" externals.

Posting about 2.5" externals because that's what OP has in his picture.
