[QUOTE="codezer0, post: 10178245, member: 187684"] For as much as people meme on Seagate's failure rates now, this was SOP for my experiences with Western Digital and their various sub-brands. Safe to say, I'm old enough to remember when reviews of an IDE hard disk [I]beating SCSI[/I] was something to brag about, and boy did WD brag like hell on the first line of such hard drives to do so. Long story short, that still holds the personal recorded for fastest to fail. Exactly 72 hours from purchase of a brand new example, it had completely failed. In the more current era, since Best Buy just loves to only carry WD branded drives, I've noticed a concerning trend where everything at or above 2TB in capacity will get stupid hot. As in hot enough to fail SMART testing, hot. Not that it would matter because when it gets that warm the drive behaves like it's failing on the spot. I've just simply not had that kind of negative experience with any consistency with other brands, full stop. Hell, one of the reasons I've been [I]deliberately[/I] holding off on trying all that hard for a Series X is entirely because I know storage will become a problem, and this method of expansion is PS Vita levels of overpriced.
