He fell for the Seagate meme. https://www.youtube.com/watc

I have a seagate drive and a WD drive that both run at the same speed, yet somehow the WD is faster at doing everything

I've been running Seagate drives for years and none have died. Seems Seagate meme is just a meme.

I have several WD drives with smart errors lying around me, with most of them below 5k running hours.
My old Samsung drives with 20k hours and more do not have such problems, but I am honest,
I am frightend of losing the data of an entire 8TB drive.

Buying extra storage for duplication is a travesty for poor people.

He is going with a WD drive manufactured by HGST.

While WD owns HGST, HGST pretty much operate by themself and have lower failure rate.

While HGST seems to be decent, the failure rate on their 8TB one is quite high.

That's why I don't hoard anything, including media. It gets to the point where you're consistently putting out money just to hold on to your shit.

I move my gaymen PC around quite a bit, do I need WD black to compensate for this extra agitation?

for what reason

I have a segate momentus from a eee pc 1000ha that has been used over and over for different projects still has good smart ratings even though it has duck tape over the sticker you're not supposed to remove, i even used it for my home server that had a port forwarded http server hosting a personal site.
