[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 324075, member: 14443"] Nothing like hitachi. shame they sold out their consumer market. WD is ok/meh. but I have 2 failed HDD right on my desk. Seagate is the juice of the garbage when you throw out the garbage. reliability is just garbage. [url=http://blog.backblaze.com/2014/01/21/what-hard-drive-should-i-buy/]Backblaze Blog » What Hard Drive Should I Buy?[/url] there is no quality mfr anymore. I use a 3.5 HDD as a 3rd backup external HDD. too slow those 2.5" drives. thank god maxtor and fujitsu left years ago. now its between meh and crap. if a HDD starts giving me issues, I kill it purposely and get a replacement. it must be dead otherwise the store will argue and say its fine. when you have transfer issues thats the beginning of the end. everyone should use spinrite once every 6 months on their HDD.
