eBay's purchase protection program doesn't really work!
Veteran68:
Yeah I referenced BackBlaze and their HDD reports earlier. I trust their data and conclusions, they've been doing this a long time and have been quite transparent about the details and what's worked and what hasn't. I would certainly *hope* that things have improved over time, so I'm encouraged that failures even among Seagate is better than it used to be. Fortunately I rarely deal in HDDs anymore, and when I do they tend to be datacenter class drives for the NAS. All of my desktops/workstations and laptops are 100% SSD. Even my current NAS has 2x 1TB NVMe SSDs for caching.

Based on the logic as presented, I'm avoiding Amazon and Western Digital.

I've never had an issue with either. Don't believe I've ever had a WD drive fail. I'm currently running 14TB Gold data center grade drives in my NAS, but I have run all classes of WD drives before (Green, Black, Blue, Red). Hitachi/HGST and Toshiba were my preference, but I'd also use WD. Then as I recall WD bought up one or both of those, so all my picks are now WD of some flavor.
DiTBho:
My 2010 disks are ST3500418AS
Some bad disks are ST3000DM001
DiTBho:
In this specific case, 6 HDD are always needed for the NAS multi node project: with which modern HDDs can I replace the 6 discs from 2010?
I don't want to deal with SSDs
I'll definitely have problems like this
* SATA2 would be better as the SiliconImage chip is SATA2, all modern stuff is >SATA2
* it would be better not to manage more than 500GB, because then the internal partitions (mac-part) are max 20GB, and if the disks are over 1TB, there are definitely too many ... anyway, tthis means, that I am right to take a modern disk but with the smaller capacity possible
