Not “bad”, consumable.

I specifically said to go off price and availability, just have a backup because they will fail.

My recommendation is none of them last forever. Get what is available, decent price and warranty, replace when needed. Drives are consumable.

So let’s just trash this company but not recommend something better?

I think you’re just wanting to be negative today. I’ve used WD/Hitachi/Samsung/crucial drives the same way, everything dies. Resilver the data and move on, don’t expect drives to last more than a decade at the very most.

Sure, but those that know of this, know that these news articles aren’t talking about ssd. This is hype news for consumer stuff.

I wish. I’ve got 6000 movies, 200 series, 300k songs, games, etc. pushing 30tb usage. I need to redo my setup, right now it’s raid 10. I know it’s not the most efficient with space, but I feel much better about redundancy.

Thank you! I lol’d at the guy with one in his main PC lol. Like why?

They’re mechanical drives, every mechanical drive company has issues. I have had 4 of the 20tb drives in a truenas setup since last summer with zero issues. Drives in this size should be redundant and under warranty, expect drives to die, they’re consumables. Replace, resilver, move on with life.

These drives aren’t for home desktops, they’re more for server setups with large datasets and redundancy. Lol why do you need a 20tb drive in your main PC?

I have 4 x 20tb drives in a truenas where I have backups, movies, and music, network accessible for the whole house.

Show me a 40tb ssd lol

Got to get the special edition for that extra $tuff.
