Die_Kapitan wroteI say go with Seagate, their new drives have a smaller failure rate than WD drives. Personally, I only go with Hitachi/HGST (while owned by WD still make better HDDs than them) and Toshiba as they nith make better HDDs than both Seagate and WD, but finding them in Lebanon is a pain in the ass.
WHAT? No. Just No.
HGST are the shittiest drives you could ever have in your machine; they are owned by WD, but they are not WD. We use Lenovo T series at work and for the last years they came with HGST drives. The drives wouldn't last 2 months and just start to fail.
We've replaced them with Seagate and even Lenovo stopped using HGST and also started using Seagate as well.
We've had exactly 117 HGST failed drives this year so far.
Personally, Seagate are ok but I strongly recommend sticking with WD drives. The black series are just too good.
