Not sure about the RRP but this seems a decent price per TB

Said it before...ALL harddrives of ALL makes fail under stress... none are truly reliable or dependable...
tried them all with similiar results..... so always backup your important data... :wink:

Given the time of year it seems only right to wheel out this old classic:- hmmm 4TB, rather have 8 250GB's as I don't want to keep my eggs in one basket.

super tempting to bite the bullet and replace the 7 2TB WD greens i've had on 247 for the past 4 years!

I ALWAYS thought this, hence the WD Green purchase all those years ago (their power on time is 3.2 years atm :smile: ) But Seagate still cant be that bad? Even their Ironwolf products?

It's all luck of the draw. I've got a bog standard seagate 750gb in my old pc that's been on 24/7 (more or less) for 7 years. It was my main gaming pc for 5 years and the kids have been using it for the last 2.

It was the 3TB Seagates that were the issue (of which I bought 4).

That trope is getting way too old. There really isn't nothing wrong with Seagates.

All in one basket, or 8 times more likely to lose 1/8th your data.
If you're running in windows there is software called stablebit drivepool(?) that can add redundancy for you across multiple drives if you have some free space.

I've always sworn by WD over the years (after Samsung was taken over by Seagate) but at work recently, I've seen some WD blacks and greens fail prematurely despite having quite an easy life.
