Another Seagate HDD Bites It
Poor quality of Seagate disks is a well-know issue for people using spinning disk storage at home. I hear their enterprise HDDs aren’t bad, but that isn’t what we purchase.
My sample size is very small. From 1990 – 2005 I went out of my way to purchase Seagate HDDs. They lasted for the sizes I bought. Used some 320G Seagate disks in an array for 7+ yrs and NONE of those failed. They made quality HDDs.
