😂 seagate developed a bad rep now. on a serious note i use Cryptsetup and LUKS - open-source disk encryption as described here https://www.cyberciti.biz/security/howto-linux-hard-disk-encryption-with-luks-cryptsetup-command/ for my #Linux system 🔥
@nixCraft Seagate has a bad rep, but doesn’t Western Digital as well? Whose drives should I be using? Is Toshiba still a thing?
@andrewdwilliams
Toshiba is actually pretty solid from what I've been seeing. WD and Seagate are, indeed, equally terrible but can be hit or miss. Nothing has ever been as bad as the Seagate 3TB drives though..... I had a customer at the time which used those in a large server farm and they had a 50-60% failure rate in the first month of use.
