Hard disk reliability examined once more: HGST rules, Seagate is alarming


An independent study has shown that HGST (Western Digital) are the drives to get with a 1.1percent failure rate over 4 years. Seagate, on the other hand, has failure rates that are higher. Depending on what model you are talking about, they range from around 9% failure rate to a whopping 43% O_O This is from a datacenter that keeps track of the drives it has to replace. So........... guess the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
