Have Seagate sorted their shit out? I have never had any other manufactures drives fail so often in the last 25 or so years. I have them a fresh chance about 10 years ago in a PS4 and guess what? It failed.
This just sounds like 44Tb of fucking about restoring data to me.
It’s just my opinion but the “brand war” on HDDs is a little overblown in my opinion. I too recall one or two periods where Seagate got bad pr for quality issues, but I’m not concerned that 10 years later any HDD I buy from them is going to croak as soon as it’s half full. There’s no way they would still be in business if that image is true. I think many times if there is a different in quality between brands it’s the difference between 99.999% and 99.998% - gasp! double the failure rate! - and then it evens out again.
44TB HAMR and it’s gonna be thousands of dollars and sold out for achival use anyway.
The big wave of failures was related to a tsunami years ago. Their enterprise stuff fails at about the same rate as WD last i check. Phoronix or someone cloud data host release numbers annually

In Germany there is a saying that goes like
where “Seagate” sounds like “sie geht” (“she works”; the word “hard drive disk” is femininum in German).
So it translates to “She works, or she does not work.” or “Sometimes they work, sometimes they do not work”
That’s brilliant, I love it.

I’ve been running their IronWolf Pros for several years now. No issues.
