This is Seagate 7200 not wd 5400
Such a bloody good deal. Defs in the top 10 ozbargain buys.
No way am I trusting Seagate again, especially with 10TB. Had 3 drives fail within the last couple of years. While all of my HGST or WD drives are still going strong.
Bad batch perhaps?
You can get bad drives in all brands, I had a bad run with seagates, WD.
At end of the day, this is for a NAS where you have parity, redundancy and backups, so if the drive dies, you send back to seagate singapore and you get a replacement in about 1-2 weeks, they are pretty quick. You should always have a spare drive anyway for that reason.
I've had 4 over the past 6-7 years and not one has failed…
If you look at the Backblaze Drive reliability data, the Seagates are one of the most reliable. I definitely believe that Seagate dropped the ball during the older 3TB era, they are well known to have high failure rates but the newer Ironwolf drives are excellent. https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-stats-for-2018/
Pretty sure it's the Seagate Exo drives though, these are different.
Agreed the 10TB drives they have are the EXO models. Though looking over their drive list, all the high capacity Seagate drives have very good AFRs. The 8TB range is a good comparison example, with the consumer drives (non Ironwolf) having a near identical AFR to the enterprise drives even though they were never built for a 24/7 workload.
From personal experience, I'm running 8 of the 8TB Ironwolfs in a home server 24/7 for over a year with no issues at all. Also from personal experience, I used to run 16 of the 3TB drives, with 2 failures. Needless to say I got rid of those drives quickly. I also ran a large number of their 5TB drives with no failures before upgrading to the 8TB models.
@FuRyZ: I was bitten hard in the Seagate ES2 days so I moved to WD Red Pro, regretting the 3TB model as they seem to be lemons 4yrs into their 5yrs warranty. Was considering giving the Exo drives a go or even go as far as HGST.
years ago they were bad, new seagates are fine. Running servers with over 150 deployed, only 3 failed last 4/5 years.
I' never had problem with Seagate , few years ago I bought 2 X Seagate portable 5TB , rip the drive out put in NAS , and it still work until now .
I had 4 seagate XT die on me, but it was more a heat issue becuase they are 7200 fast but they generate heat, so make sure you have good cooling for your NAS
