There are quite a few choices of brands when it comes to purchasing harddisks or ssd, but which one do you find the most reliable one? Personally had great experiences with SeaGate, but heard ChrisTitus had the opposite experience with them.
So curious to what manufacturers people here swear to and why? Which ones do you have the worst experience with?
None of them, because every manufacturer has made good and bad products. Seagate had really bad 3TB drives which gave them a lot of that reputation.
I just buy whatever fits my budget for HDDs and have proper backups in place. I think almost all of my HDDs are ‘refurbished’ ones.
For SSDs I look for one with a good TBW rating with a cache in it. Typically I’ll go for used enterprise SSDs as well.
