Is this model from seagate prone to fail?

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

If it means anything, I have been using Seagate Ironwolf HD's in my NAS for years now after having to switch to them when HGST went under, and I have yet to have any issues with one yet. I think I have 5 right now.

5 is such a tiny sample size. Back blaze over and over again shows how many Seagate models are horrible. The last reports has the worst Seagate model they use at 9.47% failure. No thanks.
