I just retired an array of them after 12 years of runtime. Two failures.

Around the same time I bought a handful of Seagate drives. One lasted a week, total three failures per drive.

The old greens were nowhere near as bad as hearsay will have it. The same basic drives, complete with unreported head unloads just to shut people up (not that I like lying on diagnostic data) went on for many years after with no major issues. Stop writing file access times to your drives with 5s commit intervals.

No the SATA interface and also without the powerdown/enable pin. Look in the datasheets for the exact types.
