Last time I checked, all the regular harddisk manufacturers were kind of similar in reliability. You can get lucky or unlucky with a specific model series or specific drive… But it’s not like there was a manufacturer to recommend which outperforms the other ones.

(Though the hdds aren’t all the same. There are definitely smaller and bigger ones, fast and very slow ones, some meant for 24/7 operation and consumer drives.)

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.
