    probably seen 20 dead seagates in the last 12 years and 10 western digitals out of the ones i have sold, which would be hundreds.
    My HDD that recently failed came from a computer shop in Morayfield in Qld.

    At the moment i have a 2tb WD caviar black and a 1tb WD caviar black aswell as an SSD. I havn't had any problems with either of these drives however i have previously bought a 1tb WD caviar black and it died after about 2 weeks. I have owned samsung hdd's before also and never had a problem. In fact i think my brother in law is still using one of them which is about 10 years old

    Jeez, Dave, now you're asking.


    Over 5 years I'd expect. It's been in three (possibly four) computers that I can think of.

    Ended up going with a 2Tb WD black, and I now have a replacement 1Tb from Seagate.

    The backup I did the night before it failed completely had some corrupt files on it so I've finished (I think) copying my photos over from the previous months backup. All in all I'm fairly happy having lost nothing (or at least minimal files)
