WD Black

>>60044993
Longer warranty is not a meme

once you go black yo u never go back

>>60045027
I don't doubt that one, but is it really worth upwards of $100 or more?

>>60044993
yes, WD drives are trash

>>60044993
No, it really isn't... Anyone telling you WD drives are not good is an idiot. They competition (Seagate) can't even make their shit teir drives last longer than 1 year.

Old seagate were nice, i still have a 160gb one working with like 2k days on it, yet since the Barracudas 7200.10 onward they went to shit.

Fuck now i remember that fucking 7200.11 fuckfest with the bricking firmware, damn time bomb if there was one.

>>60045478
old WD was nice too.

the only hard drives worth buying now are toshiba/HSGT and refurb hitachi enterprise drives

>>60045486
Seconded. Warranties don't bring lost data back (for the brave ppl not using redundancy). Get a pre-WD acquisition HGST drive. Certain ultrastars, deskstar nas, and megascale drives boast the best reliability.

>>60044993
blacks? definitely a meme.

>>60045516
>Get a pre-WD acquisition HGST drive
ie just buy toshiba drives

>>60045129
Ive had multiple drives from all companies fail on me. Ive even had an m.2 ssd fail on me.

Biggest meme are evos or refurbished drives

>>60045631
>Biggest meme are evos
more like samshit drives in general. unreliable trash, people only buy them because of the large performance numbers they hit for 3 seconds before dropping off

I wonder when we'll see hard drive capacity take off even further. Like 25, 50 tb drives.

>>60045631
what are you doing, i've literally never had a hard drive fail on me. I have a 1GB hard drive in my windows 98 machine that I still use relatively often.

>>60045688
i doubt we will, ssds will start taking over as they become more reliable. moving parts aren't viable these days

>>60044993
No, they have stuff that makes them more reliable(Anti-vibration system for example) but can die any second like a normal HDD.

Thinking Samsung drives are trash from a test with a sample size of literally one drive


Honestly though, while blacks are good, you're better off getting cheaper drives and running raid of some description, just avoid Seagate like the plague, their shit is still terrible

Seagate had a terrible 3tb drive that ruined their reputation a few years ago. They have improved since then and their failure rate isn't astronomically high anymore.

Speaking from experience as a sysad, Seagate drives are still terrible, they fail more often, more quickly and more catastrophically, typically with thousands of sectors going bad more or less at once

>>60045914
Mine doesn't have this problem

Ah crap! 7 years? Well, at least it still up and running..... Just bought mine nearly 3 weeks ago, I hope everything will be alright

>>60046035
Settings in BIOS/UEFI could cause this. You should have a choice of "Performance" which will be the fastest and also the most noisy or "Accoustic" which will be quieter but somewhat slower.
Oh yeah, with only 1 pending sector reallocation, that drive is a keeper!

>>60046035
Mine running 7 years only got caution just recently

I have thrown the computer around and all kinds of shit, kicked it over multiple times too

You really are getting reliability with these

>>60045060
three times the warranty (usually six years) and top-tier hdd performance is worth it, yes.

Depends which one you get. The 5 and 6TB models are blazing fast. 3 and 4 are older and slower. Smaller than that are older and slower still.
My 5TB Black loads vidya basically as fast as my SSD. Of course I'm SATA 2 bottlenecked, so what do I know.

step it up

I have the weirdest luck with drives. I've had 2 200gb IDE Seagates for over 12 years now and they are perfectly fine, and I've had a 500 and 750gb WD die on me inside of 6 months. I said to hell with it and now just use HGST drives as storage and SSDs for everything else.

CrystalDiskInfo's dev should just call the anime edition the weeb edition.

>>60045043
this

>>60045043
das rite

I bought a Black recently because I didn't want a drive that parks it's head constantly, but It was way too noisy. It made this pulsing or ticking sound repeatedly every 5 seconds even when idle. Place I bought it from tested another identical drive and it made the noise as well. I don't know if they all do it or if it was just that specific model, but I couldn't deal with it regardless.

I ended up replacing it with a standard blue drive because I found out you can disable head parking with WDIDLE.

>>60046434

i'll wait

wew lad

Get toshiba. A non-us brand.

>>60047488
toshiba drives are just hitachi drives, so yes they are the best buy.

wd gold costs as much and it's quieter and more stable hdd

I have a 6 year old 2tb black still going strong. Mostly go with HGST now however; they are a bit cheaper and seem to be just as good.

Fuck Seagate. I've gone through two of their drives in one year, then replaced them with a WD drive that's been going strong for over four. Currently recommending HGST however. They make really good shit.

>>60047757

I've never played minecraft.

So how can you determine which HGST models are pre-WD?

>>60047974
if they're branded hitachi or you buy them from toshiba

No its an advertisement. Memes don't try and sell you anything. Go newfag somewhere else.

yes its a fucking meme
its a 7200rpm version of wd blue which is uses more heat and power

>>60045873
I have one of those 3tb drives. I lucked out for now still runs fine no errors. Bought it boxing day(December) 2012 for 89$ which was weirdly cheap given the hdd factory flood just occurred.

>>60047825
>>60047974
Just because WD owns HGST on paper doesn't mean they get rid of their manufacturing process over night you mongs.

right someone explain to me please cause ive been lucky enough to never have a drive die, this 'warranty' does it require you to send in your hdd to the manufacturer?

>>60048658

>>60048725
I had rather figured.

When they took over Samsung, the cunts rebranded their disks with with Samsung product numbers. So you thought you were buying really good quality disks, instead you were getting fucked in the ass.

Still got a ton of Samsung disks. They're amazing

>>60048843
THIS, I'm still using the same 2x400GB Barracuda ES in RAID-0 from 12 years ago

>>60044993
Harddrive speed peaked with the 7200.14 barracuda 3tb, anything more that isn't a massive archive drive is a pure meme

>>60044993
my wd black is eight years old, pulled it out of an older computer to use in my build, still works perfectly when every other old hdd I used died. now I might be lucky or it might be that the hdd did not have a lot of time to sit around and rot or any other factor, but I'm still glad it pulled through.

>WD trash
Use Hitachi or fuck off.
>inb4 its still WD
Different factories, different market (all better).

>>60051756
HGST is overpriced, seagate is reletively way more reliable now a day and cheaper
