October 25, 20205 yr in 2010 I bough 6 2TB drives from different vendors. The WD greens lasted 2 years before they died in odd and strange ways the seagates lasted 4 years before CRC errors in SMART started showing up the samsung lasted 9 years before SMART reports of uncorrectable sector count and CRC error count started to creep up the "Hitachi Deskstar 5K3000" still has a SMART report clean as a whistle. I'm finally pulling it today due to its age and needing more capacity. Its amazing this drive has been spinning for over ten years with no issues.
October 26, 20205 yr I still have five 2TB Hitachi drives bought in late 2011 - still going strong, and no issues in the SMART data either.
