You absolutely should be worried. Seagate drives tend to have a 80% failure rate within 6 months.

That's not really true of their newer offerings. Suposedly WDs have been having more problems lately. Seagate just had a super terrible generation of 3TB drives.

SSD as storage. We are not quite yet to use as a personal technology. Enterprises use RAIDs SSD a lot though

Can confirm. I have a TOSHIBA DT01ACA300.
They are fast and they are reliable. They are also loud as fuck and if you try doing something like copying 3 different 4 GB large files at the same time or just one that is very fragmented or a bunch of small files... man do those drives make noise when they are seeking.
They had one line of 3TB hdds which was particularly bad - but overall Seagate is still the worst and least reliable brand there is. Then again the market is shifting to SSDs and there Kingston rules as a uncontested winner for the Least Reliable Trash award. Yeah, I know their cheapest line is .. really cheap. But you should be able to get more than 3 months out of a SSD.

I can absolutely possibility tell you that your luck is about to run out. I've had many drives fail in my time and the most I've gotten out of a drive that's been (ab)used continuously is 12 years.

Seagate's low end isn't great, but that wiki is absolute FUD.
Also that nigger recommends Toshiba. Fucking Toshiba. I don't have a single Toshiba drive that doesn't have bad sectors or shitty inconsistent performance. The last one I bought was last year, a 3TB P300, against my better judgement because it was on a promo. Initial tests revealed odd random delays on sector reads, my spidey sense tingled and I kept testing. WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK it had recorded multiple mechanical failures. Returned it to the retailer for a refund and swore off Trashiba.
Also noisy as fuck, like the WD Blacks.

if you don't have a second HDD just to backup the first I don't know what to tell you
Luke Moore
I do backup my data. But it pisses me off when I spend good money on an HDD, and it dies the moment the warranty runs out.

HGST is most reliable
Nolan Morales
My 10 years old HDDs started clicking and I replaced them with new Toshiba HDD. I'm all fine now.

Cope, HDDs last forever. Especially my WD ones.
