Yeah, I stick w/ WD Caviar Black tbh.. My previous was a Seagate model (tried to save 20 bucks), it crapped out in 2 years.. This one is great 4 years later.
Idk if it's still the case, but I know in 2012 people were recommending me stay away from any HDD bigger than 2 TB because they have a high failure rate. , none of them last forever, maybe invest in a big ass SSD?
