That’s the thing I am trying to point out. Like if you get lucky some of their models appear near perfect and seem to keep lasting forever.

But I’ve experienced the other side of the coin where I had a hard hardware failure on a hdd, the warranty and replacement process was insanely painful. Then when I finally got a replacement it also had a failure. Same painful replacement process. The 3rd one wasn’t even the same model but at least it worked.

One of the sister drives of the first one had a hardware failure shortly afterwards. I didn’t even bother going through the RMA process and just migrated to Samsungs.
