I avoid SMR like the coronavirus!
So should everyone else. Terrible tech.
Only 2TB though
2TB.
Retro!
I am giving up on seagate, have had 6 hard drives die in the last year and all of them were Seagate
cool story
You're not alone Billybob
I've had 3 Seagate hard drives die on me also. All within a year.
Two were high end models with 5 year warranty, each cost $350+
I've switched to Western Digital and HGST/Hitachi drives and had no issues
There's a reason why all playstations had hitachi drives, which was reliability.
Go off factual information and statistics:
https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-stats-for-2019/I have nothing against Computer Alliance, just Seagate hard drives
yeah my WD drives I have had for ages, killed one but my fault. The HGST drive I also have for ages now. I lost 3 2tb, 2 4tb and a 5tb, but all mine where external and died a few months out of warranty. I have bought stuff from Computer Alliance also, and no probs.
Can I ask, how do u kill HDD? I'm scared I'll do something stupid and lose all my backup….
As for HDD dying, also scared as means backup =gone?!
@blacknwhite1: I had it in an external case to get some stuff off it to use for another purpose, it was copying stuff but got really slow and my computer was doing weird things. I turned the drive off and on, then off and on again, and it just stopped working.
At average Seagate price 25/TB it should be around $50
Will it be good for NAS?
Could someone guide me what 4tb hdd would be good/best for music and movie files storage?
WD Red will be fine.
2tb? What is this, a hard drive for ants?
You could get a 4tb Seagate Barracuda Compute drive by shucking one of those $99 enclosures from Officeworks/Bing Lee/Ebay.
Precisely what I did. It's only going to have linux iso's on it, so not a huge deal if it fails. Run much cooler when shucked too.
Hmmm I remember buying 2TB (superior Hitachi ones) for my NAS in early 2009. Each are still running too, none of these would still be running in 2031, not that you'd want them to be. 2TB in 2020? Pass! If you don't need much capacity, at least shell at a few bucks more for 4TB and somewhat future proof yourself.
SMR before everyone asks.
