The last time I had a Seagate drive, it was 1.2GB

Right, I’m never going back to Seagate. Their drives are shit. Although I did have 2 IronWolf 10TBs setup in raid and they have been going nearly 8 years nonstop now.

I don’t understand the hate against Seagate. I’ve only had Seagate in my PCs and none have failed for me in the span of almost two decades. In fact, the first ones I had are still around not having failed yet.

Seagate drives are like crows - if you don’t get along with one, they tell their friends and harass you. For any given user, either Seagate drives are perfectly fine and last ages no matter what is done to them, or every single one they touch will self destruct with the lightest use for no reason. That it really does seem to vary by user rather than specific models or production runs is the baffling part.

It is poasible that Seagate drives don’t handle some adverse conditions or maybe a certain amount of load very well which would lead to consistently good or bad results depending on the person.
