wkkay is this wht u mean?
there is something call fail rate
for example u got 1% chance to fail your hdd
means u got 99% chance to get a good hdd
so once u used your chance to fail your hdd
that mean the next drive shld having more "surviving chance"

but once u get frm others manufacturer mean u reset your fail rate , thus u still got 1% to fail your drive

juz for fun

there's something called Murphy's law.

if a hdd can fail, it will fail. regardless of brand.

if u use capalang psu, whether u use WD seagate etc also doesnt matter

everything will fail , juz matter of time , the fail rate used by manufacturer is within their warranty period

1. no, as seagate have and sell the most defect hdds. i use my samsung hdds without any problems. cant say the same thing for wd, hitachi or others...

2. edit2: btw i never said that same thing won't happen, you say that

1. Do you have data (e.g. a survey of sales vs returns), or are you just basing your statement off your experience?

2. No need to be so defensive. From what you say, it's clear that you want to avoid the problem recurring by buying another manufacturer's disks. And that's the foolish approach, given that you won't know what you're going to get. You are better off switching lotteries where at least you know the odds up front

I know you're just joking.. but that sort of thinking is prevalent if you look around some of the threads here where users vow to never buy manufacturer X anymore

Results 1 - 10 of about 84,500 for seagate hdd failed. (0.24 seconds)
Results 1 - 10 of about 78,100 for wd hdd failed. (0.21 seconds)
Results 1 - 10 of about 120,000 for samsung hdd failed. (0.18 seconds)

I'm not sure what the point of that was?

Numbers aside, you'll see that drives from all manufacturers fail. So good luck to you if you're not going to take any other precaution.

i am not talking about the numbers. you can easily see more seagate failed topics/links

and their support is crap, they just ignore you

you can continue to buy seagate but i will not

lol the hdd was near the aircon 16 C and i only used it like 5-6 hour every week. (it was my second hdd.)

Over the past 1 year I've bought for personal use four WD drives, two Seagates, one Hitachi, one Samsung. Three pairs of these are in RAID-1 (different manufacturers), another two are backup disks. I don't care about the manufacturer, as far as I'm concerned they're all more or less decent.

I do care about managing my risk, and I do this by diversifying my RAID-1 and by backups. I do not do it by practicing (anti-)fanboyism

my seagate is still running fine after 6 months,the doomed 500gb 7200.11 model with the doomed firmware.the 1st 1 failed me and i exchged it for a new 1 with a newer firmware,SD1A.and it lasted till now

well maybe its still too early to judge from my case.but there's another maxtor diamondmax9 80gb sata1 of mine,lasted for 5 years

and still running now as extra storage
