Stop buying consumer tier Barracudas. Their enterprise stuff is actually good.

    If they're willing to sell unreliable trash to consumers, why should we trust them at all?

    Having had several of their drives fail and then received multiple, non-functional drives for a warranty replacement, I will not trust them again.

    The datasheets are public. WD and Toshiba has their own consumer hard drives. Check the Mean Time Between Failures, Read Errors per Bits Read, and Power On Hours per Year rows for them. The consumer ones usually have at most half of the values compared to the enterprise counterparts.

    100%. Meanwhile that Samsung 1Tb in my server has a power on hours count of 116892 and is still happily chugging along (yes it’s got a cold spare ready to go ands nothing important on it lol).
