Buying HDDs is a really difficult tas and the more you compare them and read about them online, the more difficult it gets.
Every brand and model has issues if you read about them. Then again, any HDD can hold for years without failure. I've practically only had Samsung and WD and was pretty lucky so far.
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."
