I don't have as many drives as I used to. Back in the day both me & my friend had 20 bay norco cases full. It seems like every time I (or my friend) would have a drive fail it would be a seagate drives. As far as reliability WD/Hitach > Toshiba > Seagate. I can't remember the last time I had a WD drive fail (i'm sure they do sometimes) but heck i have drives 15+ years old that are still going strong. I had many seagate drives fail during that period to the point where i told myself i would never buy another seagate drive again. I haven't bought a seagate drive for over 10 years. Has seagate improved in terms of reliability? Most of the hard drive deals i see are on seagate drives. I'm about to build a new storage server & need 8 or so drives.
