    Same reason the next person after them will say the same for WD, the next one Toshiba, the next one Hitachi.

    Bad experiences sour your perception of a brand.

      i would base my judging on backblaze spreadsheet, google it, its a cool site. i dont care about HDDs anymore, but Seagate there always has high failure rates.

      tbf seagates do have a higher fail rate than the others.

      mine is going strong for a decade now, but that doesn’t mean they are reliable as a brand.
