Moi continue to support Seagate deep deep.
Most stable for moi.
WD is the worst performer for me.

WD looks sheety. How come it's the favorite HDD brand recommended in here?

Just to put things in perspective, the Seagate numbers for earlier years are skewed by the high failure rate of 3 TB drives. Most/All of these earlier drives have since been retired. The numbers for current drives are actually not too bad.

Can't compare to HGST though .....

Figures doesn't look good for Toshiba. Only using 0.00646% of total Seagate drives but failure rate hitting almost same level for this year...

its seems like my next purchase of HDD might jump ship to HGST (kinda ex T-T)

Just treat it as an insurance premium. I would rather spend slightly more and have my data secure and intact even after warranty ends....

I don't see any other test and result data that is more accurate at (ab)using these desktop drives in a stressed environment. Such tests really able to sniff out the bad oranges from the fresh ones.

Dunno... plus it seems like a lot of local WD users need to RMA?? I see the WD RMA thread size & views also scared

could be because there are far more WD owners than other brands.

Do BackBlaze use WD Blacks or they use WD Greens?
