Amazon reviews prove they are still shit.

So what are to go-to HDDs nowadays?

WD Black.

>seagate
What am I missing here?

Buy two or more. Set up btrfs raid. Problem solved.

Ironwolf Pro has a 5 year warranty. I doubt these are bad. My ThinkPad even has one that still works after 6 years.

Ironwolf Pro is a NAS driver, not a client drive

WD is stuck in the past with 6TB capacity, they don't even have a helium drive or 14tb capacity like Seagate, WD Black series simply not competitive these days

WD own HGST, the company that invented helium drives, and they put out a 12TB helium drive last year.

WD Red, durable but not too expensive.

WD Black does not have a helium drive

WD Helium drives is the Gold enterprise series which maxes out at 12TB, still behind Seagate ias of this month in capacity

Not yet it doesn't, as the high-capacity drives are enterprise drives, but they'll be there soon (so far they've got Purple and Gold drives at 12TB capacity). Seagate only recently unveiled the 14TB drives while the 12TB HGST drives were around for months before Seagate caught up.

They finally catching up in Size to the Failure Rate

Are you retarded? Seagate has been selling 12TB drives since last year, Barracuda Pros and Ironwolf Pros

I said months, not years, dickbreath. WD started shipping their 12TB drives under HGST in April of that year.

I have had the same 3, 4tb drives from seagate for the past 6 years, no issues. #wd shill

I've heard Toshiba's NAS drives are fairly reliable too?

HGST > Seagate > vanilla WD

I have 6.5TB of porn and I never watch any of it

HGST

Just to add: With WD you're essentially stuck on 6TB unless you go NAS or enterprise. Only seagate is selling 14TB desktop parts which is pretty nice desu senpai.
>Amazon reciews prove they are still shit.
Congratulations, that must've been the most retarded shit I've read in weeks.

Used to have that drive in a shitty HP prebuilt it was prety sturdy, what about you?

HP still make computers after a woman in charge? Thought they went down the drain like Yahoo once they put a woman in charge.

seagate aka 30% failure rate

They advertise 2 consumer desktops and 29 buisness desktops on the HP homepage.

That's more than printers.

within the last decade or so, their failure rates were higher than any other

the problem with failure rates is that they dont happen to everybody so you may have a good experience with them. most important shit is to backup your shit.

>14TB of data gone in 6 months

Damn

My 1TB Seagate drive is still going strong after 9 years of constant use.

It's green like the algae growing on all the dead Seagate hard drives in the dump. The swirl is to remind you of the money you just flushed down the toilet.
SEAGATE A SHIT

ALZHEIMER DRIVES

FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS BUY SEAGATE

> doesn’t work on my machine
yikes

are you me? At least I only have like 1.4T and only watch the same 20-30 videos

>ALZHEIMER DRIVES
If you aren't sure if you should keep that stuff, put it on a Seagate drive and let it make the decision for you.

If it didn't work on my machine, I'd buy something else. Duh

Fuck yes! Can't wait for WD to bring out there 14TB drive. Make 10TB drives cost even less.
Bring on the lower prices.

>and people here dont think there are any paid WD shills on Jow Forums

>WD
>driving prices down
lol nice joke

I'll buy two when it drop to $100

Well 9 years ago they were shit and I still hold themselves to that standard. Who cares if they top reliability rate charts now. Does not matter one bit.

My current workstation has a 4TB Seagate drive, a 4TB WD Black, and another 4TB WD Red.

When they in my system, there’s literally nothing that tell’s them apart. I have had mu build for 7 years and all dem programs tell me my drives are all “Fantastic!”

Stop being spergs and start chadding it up bro

That's a fucking lie. If you put a shitgate and a WD in the same build the shitgate immediately starts to sperg out, obviously threatened by the superior WD platters and soldering.

Can't wait for cheap 8TBs now

Whats up with the read error rate.
If thats some random value, how are you going to know the drive is failing?

Wd is mostly cancer and overrated over Seagate.
I had over 30% defective rate on wd Dell used to install in computers when I was managing it for 50 CPUs. 30% over 5 years. A lot also of portable wd HDD.
I really hate wd

>probably gonna die within the 1st year of use, if not within 6 months.
any proofs

typical failure rate on drives is sub 5% and even then, much of that is down to shipping.

remember the 1.5tb drives? everyone fucking has a horror story if you have 2 of those things, seagate was the worst one, and they are also the one that are in most computers.

because statistically, if you use 1 hdd per computer, whoever you used in the 1.5tb era may be the only drive you ever have fail.

Then you have people who use used drives telling you about how shit seagate is, well you put them through shipping damage risk twice, and are using drives that are already well along their way to failure to begin with,

personally, hitachi brand, wd, or seagate are the only ones to look at whoever is cheapest in the size category you want, as everyone is about the same failure rate anymore, and depending on the deal/time of year, you may get 2 drives the the cost of the competitors, so you got hot storage and backup.

Kek, came here to post the same thing

>drive tech goes from megabyte to gigabyte and gigabyte to terabyte in no time
>stagnates indefinitely in the terabyte range

but y tho

>basing your drives health off of a attribute you don't understand
Read error rates on seagates are something unlike the other manufacturers. I believe the seagates are based on 1 error per X amount of operations. If it goes below threshold, then you got a problem.

Density reasons, obviously you retard. This is why SMR, and He HDD's exist.

>Density reasons

So physics easily allows for exactly the right density to store amounts of data required by typical users on a single drive? What a coincidence.

You realize this isn't exactly a limitation of physics, but with the material technology. Right?

>1 bad hard drive cuz they sold shit that got flooded makes company look terrible
>WD is always fucking terrible
hmm

I have SG Failcuda's still shit the bricks after 15k. Yet, i have WD drives that hit 80,90k hrs.
Hmm

I have a 300GB seagate drive from like 2006 that still runs fine
and I have 160GB WD that still run fine
and I've bought both that have failed in a month
really doesn't matter what manufacturer it is between those two.. it's just dependent on the drive

I see Seagates ((Barricudas)) coming back at a higher rate that WD-Black/Gold. WD-SSD's are pure fucking failure.
Keep in mind the barricuda's are cheaper than WD's, and thats for a reason.
And yeah, its all dependant on the drive. I still got a Maxtor drive from 1997. It works but it still has very little power on hours.
When it was manufactured has no play unless its from a time where there was bad batches. Power on hours, head flying hours is where it matters. This denotes when the drive is being used....
