I have had seagate drives fail within a 1 month of purchase. All i can say is
the last couple of years hdd’s especially the larger capacity drives aka
anything over 500G have horrible life expectancy. Also seems if i format the
drives they no longer report errors and life is good again seems regular hdd’s
even the enterprise ones seem to be flaky in raid setups. Have had decent
results with SAS drives but as always milage may vary.
