    I’ve bought 2 Seagate drives and both have failed. Meanwhile, I still have my 2 15yo WD drives working.

    I hope I didn’t just jinx myself. Lol

      I’ve got the opposite experience, with WD.

      You know who uses loads of Seagate drives? Backblaze. They also publish the stats. They wouldn’t be buying Seagate drives if they were significantly worse than the others.

      The important thing is to back up your shit. All drives fail.

      I get it, I’ve had the opposite experience with wd, but they were 2.5” portable drives. All my desktop stuff works perfectly still 🤞
