- With time, quality of consumer-grade electronics get's worse and worse, but my experience with Seagate is just disaster. So should you look on Seagate after all?

Another thing you might consider is how your local delivery company treats your postal parcels. May be it is to blame for two consecutive defective disks. It is just more realistic than the hypothesis that you are so unlucky to get two disks in a row with manufacturing defects
Oh, so Seagate is still the same as it was over 10 years ago. Since the 500GB generation, EVERY SINGLE drive I ever purchased from Seagate failed. Given, it took between 1 to 2 years for taht to happen, but NONE survived longer than that
Looking forward to see what will happen with other 2 drives in nas 😀
One thing that you should put attention is not to buy the same model from the same batch, because since you are doing raid you are likely to ware out them in the same way. So there are cance that while restoring raid another disk fail. They should be different between them self to avoid this issue.
Seagate drives have been nothing but bad news in the past 5 years for me. Never buying them again.
you won the bad luck lottory on your hdds
I’m very good in this lottery for all my life 😀
Have seen some info based on Backblaze data that mostly disks fail in the first month (manufacturing defect) or after several years (wear-out), almost no failures in between. Buying a used enterprise hdd with 50k hours is then not a worst idea. Be it Seagate, WD or HGST - doesn't matter. And it is cheap (usual price - 10 EUR per 1Tb for 10/12 Tb versions)
I've had extremely bad luck with seagates too so my view is they have always been bad quality high failure rate. I like HGST, they are made by western digital so quality is good, and price is less than WD due to being lesser known brand.
Yeah, I guess I will never look on Seagate again
Imo seagate’s consumer drives are decent enough, but their enterprise drives are fantastic.
I’m glad that you have good experience with them ;)
I used to run a repair shop. I have seen hundreds of dead disks, over 70% of them were seagates. I think that reflects how popular seagate drives are and how many are out there.
It looks like you fell foul of the "bathtub curve" with the first drive and transit/handling the second time. The second drive sounds like it is failing to read it's firmware from the disk and that gives the familiar "click of death". (It sounds more like a ping in your video)
I am a western digital fanboy but barely. They have gone down hill quite seriously in recent years. I still recommend them but only just. The pricing on their gold drives is quite good.
I'm probably going to go with Toshiba next time I upgrade, they have been pretty solidly mediocre for a long time and the "bang per buck" is good.
Not to sound like a Seagate phanboi buuuutttt ... I would say you had extreamly bad luck.
It also could be a bad batch of drives.
I've been using them for ... decades now and never had a signal issue with both PC and NAS grade ones. The latest 14TB batch is hapilly spinning in my NAS.
Just check all the crap WD has been doing lately with SMR/CMR, fake health warnings, etc.
Yeah I’m also thinking about bad batch..
Exos are the cheapest, and they're enterprise.
