Nothing will EVER convince me to get a Seagate drive again, even if it was £20 for 5tb.
So far for January to March:
So called 'enterprise' 5tb Constellations :
Of 20 we have, 10 in each nas, 7 (4 and 3) have died, all developed bad sectors, of the replacements, 4 failed rebuild and developed bad sectors, so call that 11.
5Tb freeagent or whatever it is, we have 9, 4 have died of bad sectors, none have been dropped or mishandled.
We have 2 small 4 bay Qnap nas with 3tb Seagate drives just for backing up the music departments projects, bad sectors in 3 drives, 2 and 1.
We mostly use WD reds and WD RE drives, of 30, one has developed a single bad sector in January and nothing since. i am expecting the Seagates to die off and thats it for them, gonna replace any personal dead Seagate with another brand, why we buy them over and over i do not know, guess its the price but i've complained for years about it and finally they're listening to me, WD from now on.
