WD here too. Seagate, you better have a good backup. Although with 1TB, you better have a good backup regardless.ICQ: 91139591Comment

Same here no problems on two of my WD drives.
Seagate ran slow and problems then finally died, they have been having problems ever since they moved their production into a different country. Forgot where I read this but lots of drive errors and DOA drives

odd... every single WD I've owned has died and every single Seagate is still kicking
WD seems to last just under 2 years, the Velociraptor about 1 1/2 years. I had a head crash on my last Velociraptor. I think a 1TB drive is unreliable regardless of brand...
History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.Comment

I picked up 4 1TB WD Black editions and have had no problems. Before I load them up with anything, I always run a full error check and they've come up clean every time. Back in the summer I picked up two 1TB Seagates because they were on sale and both BRAND NEW were filled with bad sectors, so I returned them within a week.email: [email protected]Comment

Just to give Seagate some needed love...I have all Seagate in my server and 5 systems, all 1 TB, and they all have worked fine for quite some time.
There's no difference in reliability between Seagate and WD.

WD recently released the 2TB Black and 2TB RE4 (not RE4-GP) drives... if you hunt around you might be able to find these somewhere. Both are 7200RPM whereas the Green/RE4-GP ones are 5400RPM. The newer models also have some extra features such as a dual head seek mechanism: this does a coarse seek like a normal drive, then an additional fine seek which can move faster than a full head servo mechanism can.Comment

I have several drives so I keep a few spares. Rather than leaving them in their factory packaging until they're needed I open them and give them a good thrashing for at least 7 days. My test program reads and writes random bits of data to give the platter surface and head subsystem a good workout.
Some say that infant mortality is a myth but I've had a few drives die within a week. Given the typical expected lifetime of a HD I don't think that 7 days of heavy testing is going to hurt, and if it picks up an early failure then it's definitely a benefit.

I think you missed the point... This is a good way to sum it up.
linkThe issue with this question is that there are good drive models for a manufacturer and bad drive models.
For example, there seems to be a high failure rate for the Seagate 1tb & 1.5tb drives, but their 250gb & 320gb drives are solid*. Yet the Western Digital 1tb, 1.5tb, & 2tb drives seem more stable, but there have been issues with their 500gb drives*.
The answers to this question should address more of the good drive models, not the actual manufacturers themselves.
Thanks! JFV
*Information for this data was obtained from ratings on websites like NewEgg.com, TigerDirect.com, etc
Brand or model really has nothing to do with failure rates. Anyone with 1TB of data they don't want to lose certainly shouldn't be putting their faith in a brand name.History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.Comment
