All 4 of my WD black i bought back in 2012 failed.
Aren't WDs supposed to be the better ones?

they started being shit somewhere around 2008.
Only hitachi was good (yes I know they got bought by WD), but maybe it changed recently.

As it turns out, Seagate's HDDs were reliable all along and we fell for the WD shilling.

seagate was shit for the entire 90s and for most of the first decade of xxi century, that's why the opinion persisted for so long

No, in my experience the 1.5TB models and such were bad.

No. You are supposed to have redundancy and backups, you won't know if you made the better choice before it is too late

seems like it. have been using seagate since forever until the whole 7200.11 series 100% failure rate then switched permanently to WD.
looking back, only the 7200.11 series failed and nothing else, while i had WD greens, blues, blacks all failed on me multiple times.

Convert to the BBC wyboi

>No. You are supposed to have redundancy and backups
well today hdds are for backups, ssds are for actual disks in use.

all 4 of those are backups...
