Hard drive?

[R3dAlert93]

Whats the best quality hard drive that lasts longer than my seagate hard drive that decided to fail on me in 5 ♥♥♥♥ing months. Not going with seagate ever again since i seen alot of owners on the internet that have been having problems with these dodgy hard drives from a dodgy business (seagate).

Link to amazon UK for drives that are deemed reliable by most.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=4tb+hard+drive+7200rpm&i=computers&rh=n%3A340831031%2Cn%3A17477985031%2Cn%3A430502031%2Cp_89%3AHGST%7CToshiba%7CWestern+Digital%2Cp_72%3A419153031%2Cp_n_size_browse-bin%3A10625611031&dc&crid=153FZKU2XJY34&qid=1591537402&rnid=340832031&sprefix=4tb+hard+drive%2Caps%2C143&ref=sr_nr_n_2

I also included the drive speed as that's quite important too.

4 TB and more will have a high chance of failure rate, so 2 TB is a better option.

Sorry... but I am not going with seagate since i can not trust them. They are unreliable.

Then go with WD Black or Blue, just be sure to get the 7200RPM ones.

As has been already stated, theres ALWAYS a chance for a drive to fail regardless of the Brand, how your PC is handled/maintained can also play a part in this.

If you havent had the drive for long It should still have some kind of warranty.

Yes... it has a warranty until 2023. Seagate are dodgy, so the hard drive will go faulty on again. Once these HD go faulty by this dodgy company... It will likely happen again. I just can't trust seagate.

My current Toshiba that i brought back in 2015 has lasted for years and still going.

I have over two 7 years old Seagate, it is not unreliable. This hard drive is not one of this model that has a lot of issues.

Ive had my Seagate firecuda for a few years now and its still going strong
So results may vary, as with EVERYTHING.

You just need to make sure it is one of the better models. I read BackBlaze that most WD failed based on 2 to 4 years running, and some SeaGate failed based on 6 to 8 years running.

You buy whatever make you want, I personally have Crucial and WD, but Toshiba and Hitachi drives are also good.

It's always a risk with whatever brand, if Seagate works for you then great, yes data from BackBlaze may have some oddities\discrepancies but if a lot of websites quote their data it can't be as skewed as some make out.

I admit I was one of the unfortunate that had the 3TB drive that had a high fail rate and that it was a total pig to get the data off as it couldn't be read by anything other than the sata base that it came with.

Maybe Seagate have improved but it's not a brand for me.

Yes... waste even more money on another HD because of rich elite unqualified ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that don't give a ♥♥♥♥ about their products. I just made a complaint on their warranty page with foul language and just waiting for a email.

Well that'll certainly encourage them to help you.

They'll probably just look at my email in a dumb way like most tech supporters do.

How have you been mugged??? Just like everything you buy if it's faulty you return for a refund, replacement or exchange. Could have happened with any other brand.

I won't purchase anything Razer because I've had 2 mice fail within 6 months. Thats my experience. Sure other dislike Razer for the same reasons but others have had no issues with them. I Stick to Logitech mice and I've had friends return and exchange the G502 multiple times yet My G502 has been going for years...unlike the Razer mice.

Well dude
Only thing left to say is, Welcome to the world of PCs.
Everything has a chance of failing no matter how good a company or product is
May as well get used to it.
