AkakmanH Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 Lab Rat 2 is right. About 4 years ago Segate had a firmware problem that caused erratic HD speed. But, the actual HD never failed - just never knew what was going to happen next - dropped data is not fun. Still would prefer over other HDs.

Black64 Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 Dang, 8TB! If they can make it cheap enough to justify the price over 2x 4tb drives I am in! Honestly, my western digital drives are rock solid, not one failure. I retire my drives after about 5 years of use anyway, so that helps. Never been to much of a fan of Seagate.

IVIYTH0S Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 too bad it's seagate the worst manufacturer for hdd's You can have the 4 500GB WD Scorpio Blues that have failed on me and I'll take your Seagates But really I trust them both, I got stuck with a plagued line of Scorpios and also had purchased one of the 7200.11 seagates that were known to have firmware issues....now I was the idiot who didn't just update the firmware and say "it won't due on me". Well it did and I lost 600GB of anime but it was my fault, because once I got the replacement for that drive....it hasn't died in over 3 or 4 years now (I sold it to a friend who has it has his main drive right now). too bad it's seagate the worst manufacturer for hdd'sThey had a firmware bug a few years back that sucked but in general they're pretty damn reliable. +1 I LIVED that, but love Seagate drives Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
