  • Price is tolerable. Is it one of those SMR or archive drives?

  • Had one last less than 12months, ripped it out and put in PC and failed. Had shit reliability with seagate in general, never going to buy again. 3 hdds in 6 months, 4 in 2 years, all seagate.

  • Good price OP for 5TB …
    But Seagate & Transcend make the most unreliable HDDs.
    HGST & WD are with least failure rates…..
    Also 4TB is the most reliable , not 3 or 5…sound funny but true….I work for a company where we rate a lot of PC components for Corporate use based on reliability and value for money….
    Seagate & Transcend are a BIG NO NO!!

  • Thanks for feedback, and from a bit of research, these use SMR technology.
    I only want extra backup unit, not gonna open case, so hope it is okay for data storage.
    Already have a few 2TB externals, have avoided external WDs since a MyBook failed
    and the hardware encryption inside meant I couldn't do any data recovery on the
    the bare drive.

    Had no issues with my Barracuda internal HDDs. Maybe quality has gone down in recent years.

  • an unrelated question but which brand of hard drive is most reliable?

    • No hard disk is reliable enough to go without backup.
