WD shill

...

ive had to send back so my seagates my man. i'm never chancing that shit again

50% tell me NEVER EVER buy Seagate
50% tell me NEVER EVER buy WD
It's a gamble, I've had a fair share of problems with both

Buy Toshiba.

buy a fucking ssd, this is not 1997 grandpa

I've always used WD. Never had a problem. I'm not going to switch because "don't fix what ain't broken".

All hard drives are gambles. They have a roughly2-3% annual failure rate regardless of manufacturer. When you sell millions of drives, that's tens of thousands of people telling you that they had a drive that died, and hundreds of people telling you that they had multiple drives that died.

>tfw built a PC last summer and bought a 3TB Barracuda
Read/Write was completely fucked. Got a replacement a while later but this anecdote left a bad taste in my mouth

pic kind of related, missing market share data but yeah

HGST is the best. After that I'd go WD, Toshiba, Seagate

>buy from seagate, wd, adata, samsung
>never have problems with any of them

That's good for you and all but anecdotal evidence doesn't mean shit

Samsung is only that low because no one buys their shit.
The other ones seems to be about the right values although seagate got a lot better, I wish we had updated pictures instead of 2010 stuff.

>le seagate dies don't buy it
fuck off
the only drives i've had die on me are THREE 2,5" WD Blues in my laptop and one WD Black
fuck WD

Neither does the seagate is bad meme

It's because of Seagate's Deathstar.

I know, that's one bad model. It happens to all companies.

ssds are a fucking meme. try to transfer a 30gb file between partitions and watch how fast it shits itself.

SSDs and HDDs are similar things with different purposes.

Actually my WD broke but my Seagate is still going strong

any modern ssd can have more than a petabyte of data written

>tfw mine died and almost took a good 2TB of shit with it
Had to shell out close to a grand to a data recovery firm, but was able to get like 99% of it out of the hole. Fuck that model.

Man, imagine if you'd put a grand into a backup solution instead

...

I learned the hard way.

I didnt say transfer it a million times.
I said transfer a fuckton of shit from one partition to another. I found out the hard way that ssds rely off of a cache to appear fast. once you work with shit that is larger than the cache the shit themselves.
I had to transfer 100gb of crap from one partition to another on my samsung ssd at the blazing speed of 4mpbs.
I even made a ramdisk to act like a middle man and see if it was read+write that was killing the speeds, it just cant handle large files.

Just today my 3TB Seagate drive dies. Guess what, the model is fucking ST3000DM001!

recently had to RMA my 3tb wd blue, died in just six months. Still have a 7 year old seagate 1tb working just fine.

why'd you buy it?
As a rule of thumb, you DON'T buy 3TB Seagates

>Toshiba
can second this, work for a phone system/telcom company with toshiba phone systems
one was underwater after hurricanes in houston, it dried out and even the voicemail (recent versions use CF cards, the older ones, which this one was, use hard disk drives, PATA originally and now I think there's a SATA voicemail card) came back up functioning perfectly

Both of my ST31000524AS died within 1 year of purchase but their replacements have held up 3 years without issues so far.
I'm not saving anything important in them anymore, lesson learned.
