  At least something is. I thought Seagate drives were good for stopping spinning on their own, typically right after the warranty is up.

    I have had 3 hdd’s fail… all of them Seagate.

    I’ve had 29 total exos, and only the 16tbs shit on me.

    2 of 29 or 7% isn’t great, but at the time they were also 20-30% cheaper.

    Thankfully already had a robust backup in place.

  Of all the things AI boom is responsible for this has to the absolute worst. Seagate hardrives were the only ones to consistently fail on me.

    Its funny how people’s experiences with both seagate and wd are all the same, but they just always claim its the other that is sheit.
    My experiences are always good with seagate while my wd’s always failed at 1/4th the lifetime of seagate (and is louder)

    I can only conclude both are sheit from that

  I'm seriously considering to go get a Barracuda to stuff my old media into because of this, instead of, you know, a second SSD that wouldn't cost less than $200 for 2 meager terabytes
