Thread: Which hard drive is better?

Hello everybody.

Which hard drive is better reliable?
I summed up some stats and get the following:
1. Seagate
2. Hitachi
3. Maxtor
4. WD
5. Samsung

I would like to hear the views of everyone, whether these statistics? You can offer. For example, some people say that a lot of Seagate due to stop the engine and generally afraid of them, preferring to WD or Hitachi. Others say that the WD to buy pointless.

So I do not even know and who to trust. However, it seems that Seagate - this is almost the All-brand.

What is your opinion?

Samsung really bad but I got lot of 40 discs. Seagate used to be bad I have 10 pieces of roll ... WD normal screws ... Well, it was a series of 60 and 80, the first batch were defective, now everything is OK, I 20,40,60,80,120,160 cost from 1-3 years and are still.

Communicate with different screws are already 6 years old. Previously, Seagate has produced a good model, for example, 3 series was a very good quality. After the 4th series and still has to meet more marriages Seagate, and it is typical, 70% - this is the hard drive SATA barracuda. IDE models seem more reliable, although the mechanics there must be the same principle. Here is my opinion on the screws (from the most reliable):

Hitachi
Seagate
Maxtor
WD
Samsung

I stand 2va kind of hard Seagate and Western both worked (3 years), very long time in half a year to check the trouble, nor any problems because I was at work in the ecstasy of the game for rabies not knock, hard on the move is not pulled use the normal power supply.

Well I am about that and say that the hard drive before doing much better, given the then-high cost. Now (in the last 1-2 years) markedly decreased, and the quality fell.

I personally judge the quality of the propellers of the number of calls. And Seagate is on the 2nd place after Samsung. Maybe this is certainly due to the fact that Seagate and buys much more than other firms. As they say, buy more, more, and give back to the marriage ... The principle of relativity ... But still, the quality of today's propeller is much lower than it was 3-5 years ago.
