Probably dies before you even get it half full

    I've got WD drives with like 10+ years of power on time...still works. All, and I'm not joking, of my HDD failures have been seagates. I lost 4 drives and the 5th and final seagate I purchased, started showing errors just a year into its life. Haven't bought one since.

    I think the IronWolf drives are generally OK. But what's inside this is probably going to be a cheapo Barracuda drive.

    You generally get what you pay for. If a drive is an amazing bargain, I wouldn't trust it with anything I needed. If you're just using it as another replaceable drive in a RAID array then whatever, I guess.

    When I bought Seagate externals, the Barracuda line only went up to 8TB so anything above that was an Ironwolf or Exynos. Do you know if that's still the case?
