Timd to update your criteria, friend. Seagate hasn't been top of the failure stack for like 8 years now. The 3TB scandal era is long since passed. Now it's WD who has been shitting on quality control, sending out faulty SSD's that wipe user data, bait-and-switching HDD customers with a cheaper, much worse performing technology (SMR) WITHOUT TELLING THEM, them basically blowing corporate raspberries at everyone when people complain.
While i agree they were the best, HGST also hasn't even existed as a non-WD product for years....
