G+_John Mink Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 As I remember, this is one of the largest tests of HDDs out there, despite some droves not having a statistically significant representation https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-reliability-stats-q1-2016/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Travis Hershberger Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I've always preferred HGST drives. They're just a step above the quality of other brands, and WD hasn't changed that, yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ben Reese Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Travis Hershberger numbers don't lie. I've always been a WD fan, but the Backblaze stats may have changed my mind. Their WD stats don't look terrible, but HGST still look better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Travis Hershberger Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 N.A.S. 'n More I don't completely trust those reports, but I've had much better experience with HGST drives than any other manufacturer. Every other manufacturer I've had warranty replacements to handle. Out of 25 HGST drives, I've had none so far, still have 4 within their warranty period tho, so we'll see. Of course the warranty period is 5 years on those compared to 1 or 2 years on most other drives I've actually used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
