METDeath Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I've got a mix of Seagate, WD, HGST (and a few Hitachi from before the rebrand). Other than a flat DOA, the Seagates have given me less trouble than the Hitachi and WD drives I've had. Quote Link to comment
nightanole Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 But but what about the shingles club? I have not heard horror stories from that thread yet. PS just chucked a 2tb seagate from 2012... Quote Link to comment
veezer Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Their infamous 3TB drives really drove me crazy. One actually failed in such a way that it would overload the rails on power-up causing my server to power-cycle continuously. I don't know if it was related, but my motherboard never posted properly after that (intermittent power-up) and had to be replaced; expensive avoton board too! Haven't had any issues so far (knock on wood) with two 4TB Seagates and a 5TB SMR in the last year. Quote Link to comment
TUMS Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I've been using the ST4000DM000 seagate desktop drive as my parity drive and it's been great. I plan on changing it soon though. Will be buying 2x 6TB WD Red's to use as my parity drives. I will add the ST4000DM000 back in to the array as a data drive. Quote Link to comment
skylark Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 No problems at all with 8 seagate 4TB nas drives. Been running 24x7 for 2years now. Just preclearing a couple of 8TB units to swap in. Quote Link to comment
Perforator Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I trust Seagate more than I trust WD. Quote Link to comment
spylex Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I've had 10 of these in my server, 3 of them developed a smart error, but then only 2 year warranty so they are wasted. Will aim for 3-5 year warranty on my next drives... Quote Link to comment
