[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1644406"] Charlie, you might find this article (and the associated chart) very interesting. BackBlaze (the backup service) use consumer-level HDs for their purposes, and have done extensive testing on the big name brands. What they found was quite interesting: [url=http://www.electronista.com/articles/15/01/21/larger.capacity.drives.do.well.4tb.seagates.a.good.value.7200rpm.drives.problematic/]Backblaze updates hard drive reliability study, HGST on top | Electronista[/url] (scroll down to the bottom for the main chart) Bottom line: I wouldn't spend any money on 3TB or smaller Seagate drives, but the 4TB and higher models appear to be just fine. HGST (formerly Hitachi) appear to be the clear-cut winner in reliability. [/QUOTE]
