It’s a shame WD acquired them and killed the brand in 2018. Some of the best spinning rust drive I’ve ever used



I spent hours pouring over their tables previously and it's still somewhat random depending on your capacity, batch and such... Like, I recall seeing how HGST failed much less for some years but then other drives of similar capacity in the setup were years older (way longer in use) so i would pay attention to specifics


Can you imagine if they put this much work into fixing their billing system?
