t33j4y Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) One of my two parity drives is exhibiting massive read and write failures, so I am gonna swap it out. I am looking at either a - HGST HUH728080ALE600 8TB drive - Recertified with one year warranty; or - Seagate Exos X10 ST8000NM0016 8TB drive - new, with 5 year warranty Price is the same - the reason I am keeping the HGST on the table is that the other parity drive is the same and serves well. It also has a good track record in the Backblaze reports (so does the 10TB version of the Seagate, but it still isn't the same drive). Both are 512e models btw. Any thoughts before I roll the dice? 🙂 Edited March 31, 2019 by t33j4y Quote Link to comment
t33j4y Posted April 1, 2019 Author Share Posted April 1, 2019 Ok - no responses - that's okay 🙂 In the end I opted for the X10 as the 5 year warranty outweighed the "known tech" factor. Quote Link to comment

Good choice. All the bad reviews aside, all my seagate drives working well for years now. 5 years warranty should be more than enough. Quote Link to comment
t33j4y Posted April 1, 2019 Author Share Posted April 1, 2019 Thanks - yeah, I've never had particular issues with Seagate drives over any other. I have Seagate, WD, HGST and Toshiba drives in my array. Have a couple of ST4000s that are coming up on the 5 year mark soon. Still rocking 🙂 Quote Link to comment
