Seagate just unleashed 44TB hard drives - Lemmy.World

Have Seagate sorted their shit out? I have never had any other manufactures drives fail so often in the last 25 or so years. I have them a fresh chance about 10 years ago in a PS4 and guess what? It failed.

This just sounds like 44Tb of fucking about restoring data to me.

Stop buying consumer tier Barracudas. Their enterprise stuff is actually good.

If they’re willing to sell unreliable trash to consumers, why should we trust them at all?

Having had several of their drives fail and then received multiple, non-functional drives for a warranty replacement, I will not trust them again.

100%. Meanwhile that Samsung 1Tb in my server has a power on hours count of 116892 and is still happily chugging along (yes it’s got a cold spare ready to go ands nothing important on it lol).
