    https://www.backblaze.com/blog/backblaze-drive-stats-for-2024/ (they also do quarterly reports, but I prefer annual reports for the larger sample sizes)

    Scroll down to the chart for failure rates by manufacture. Seagate literally has 2-3 times the failure rate of all other manufactures. Maybe 1-2 quarters aren’t, but even then they’re still noticeably higher.

    Edit: Just noticed HGST did horribly last year and Toshiba is actually looking pretty damn good now. Might have to give them a try sometime.
