Wow I’ve been buying WDs for years because I have never had luck with others. Glad to see there’s an actual data point for me and it’s not just anecdotal.
Weren’t they also the ones that just broke up a massive counterfeiting ring of refurbished drives being passed off as new? Wonder if that contributed to their bad failure numbers.
So it looks like my policy of “only buy Western Digital” is still the right one. But what’s happening to HGST?
They got bought out… By WDC.

Thanks for sharing.
