55TB on a single 3.5" HDD is ludicrous. The fact they are aiming for 100TB to me is just unbelievable. At this rate we might end up with those 100TB drives before GTA6 lol
Seagate drives are absolute GARBAGE. All of them. Every single time we find a dead HDD in a system it is 98% ALWAYS a Seagate drive.
The rest are drives that HP has put into desktops that are not designed for full OS use such as WD Greens and a few Toshibas and Hitachis.
You want quality HDDs you get WD.

Only ever had 1 Seagate drive fail on me, had multiple WD's, Samsung and Hitachi HDD's fail.
My Unraid server currently has 24x 6TB Seagate Enterprise Capacity drives in it and I have some spares because it would be foolish to not have spares for a server.
If I could I would swap them all out for Seagate 24TB drives.

Seagate and WD are usually the top 2 brands to get in the NAS space. People who actually buy and use them regularly, of course they don't use generic drives they purchase NAS drives which are higher quality. Failure rates aren't really any different other than very specific models, but that's true of all the manufacturers.

I assume this is hyperbole, but I think a lot genuinely believe that because they had little success with a product that it MUST be a terrible product for everyone. Any reddit post will have a whole bunch of people saying "ASROCK BOARDS ARE AMAZING!!!" with an equal amount saying "ASROCK BOARDS ALL BREAK!!!" It becomes like an aggregate film review website with no nuance or detail. 45% of people gave 1 star. 45% of people gave 5 stars. 10% of people gave nuanced reviews but are drowned out. Final score? 3/5. Which group was right? Which group should people pay attention to? Again, not saying this is you, but many have had great success with Seagate and terrible success with WD or other manufacturers. It's like cars... it doesn't matter what brand you go for; they all make duds. And it doesn't matter how much you spend. A $2 million supercar can be made to poor standards and break down three years into its life while a $15k Hyundai can survive 20 years with normal servicing. As ironic as it sounds, there are few absolutes, especially in tech.
