Some drives keep chugging for years and years, other ones croak too soonish. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 1 point 1 month ago For HDD I only buy WD, especially so with external drives. From my experience they are the only one really reliable ones. I have purchased a few times other brands, mostly Seagate and that was a coin toss to me, and another brand I don't remember, was a total disaster. Off course just speaking from personal experience. I don't like this being "blindly" brand loyal, but with WD I get reliance. And no I'm not an advertisement agent, just noticed it sounds like that, lol. permalink fedilink source parent [–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago Trump kept threatening Europe, so I stopped buying US products permalink fedilink source parent [–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago Not as scummy marketing (hiding SMR among CMR) permalink fedilink source parent
