Dunno, the Hitachi/HGST are doing ok.

Remains to be seen what will happen
with the drive quality now that they have
been taken over by Western Digital tho.

Don’t like their warranty approach myself,
pay for return of the drive to them. That
can mean that it isnt worth the cost for me.

Only a relatively minor consideration with a 2% failure rate tho.
