Ive been using 2 segate 2tb drives for about 3 years now in a raid 1 setup on my linux server. Never had a problem once before. Then i saw louis rossman's new video talking about drives advertised as new being used and he mentioned backblaze's stats that show segate with a high failure rate. so like any normal person i used a free toll called scrutiny to check the health of my drives and got this: https://imgur.com/a/i6bmsGs How cooked am i? i still have good read and writes on them and ive never had any data loss. the most confusing part is the 8yrs life span.
