   @PCOWandre @quokka1 Hitachi were the go to. Toshiba were good until they became hard to find. Seagate is about it now. Future is doomed in a time we hoard even more data....

     @quokka1 I had a pretty good run with HGST but not since WD ate them.

     @PCOWandre thing is, i could say the same about WD; had a run of failures with them. I think each of the manufacturers sometimes make a dud. Maybe.

     Well, that's the very last 2TB Seagate Barracuda to fault out from my backup server, making a total of about eight of that model drive to fail on me.

     That series really was a reputation-killer for Seagate.
