That maybe so but those drive are Enterprise Drive good luck getting new 4TB and 8TB as are ready on EOL list you may fine a few new 8TB but there not cheap and no warranty unless your business owner and I think have to file proof.

I'm out of loop, isn't HGST defunct since 2018? Or only WD is called like that now? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HGST (not a joke question, srsly I'm confused 😀 sorry if I didn't get the joke)

Never in my life will I purchase a Seagate drive ever again. Bought a SHITE ton one year and wouldn't you know it. Most of them 500gb drives from ten plus years ago are DEAD!!! There truly was a reason they were selling them cheaply at that time. Seagate is GARBAGE!!

Seagate 10 years ago was shite. Ironwolf drives are fine.

Yeah had bad experiences with their 1tb drives back in the day. Although they seem to be improving in recent times. Did you know that also long ago HGST had some of the worst drives ever? You know what the model name was? It was the Deskstar. Its failure rates were so bad they called it the Deathstar. 😀

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH I love it! Yeah these drives I seriously think I have one or two left out of twenty plus from eleven or so years ago. Pretty sad as I've still got my original 32gb 10,000rpm WD raptors and they're at least twenty plus years old.
