Hi guys, I last time saw that 3TB HDDs are more reliable as compared to 4TB HDDs (quite a few years ago), so I was wondering, will a 4TB HDD and a 6TB HDD have any differences for reliability? Or is just heng suay? Thanks

I thought it was the other way around where the WD Red 3TB was failing?

I agree as well it's heng suay. So far no record about 4tb vs 6tb reliability. Only time can tell.

Another question, which brand and model are you looking at?
