The latest Backblaze report came on December 11, 2015. Three replacement hard drives from Western Digital and Seagate also malfunctioned within this time period. My four WD Enterprise Grade HDs have died between one month to 2.1 years. My six 2TB Seagate Barracudas have expired between one month to 1.1 years. My 3TB HGST DeskStar has lasted six years and still works. HGST is a subsidiary of Western Digital.įrom personal experiences in the past two years, I concur with the study. In turn, the department was sold to HGST years later. IBM sold its hard drive division to Hitachi. The worse was Seagate with 40%.įor your information, HGST, Hitachi, and IBM products are identical. BackBlaze tested 41,000 units in a three year period. The definitive research on the longevity of hard drives was pub lished in EXTREMTECH on April 10, 2015. So, which brand is the best and what is to be avoided? For these reasons, common sense dictates the purchase of a reliable storage unit. When they are gone, time is needed to reinstall the software. Not as important is the boot drive containing your operating system and application programs. When the hard drive crashes and there is no backup, everything is lost - many are not replaceable and some represent hours of work. Spreadsheets, word processor files, emails, photos, homework, announcements, work related files, and anything important are saved on this device. You have your OS, application programs, and work files stored. Of all computer components, the most critical is the hard drive.

Thank you Hitachi for the decent price for this large sized hard drive! Read full review Good: This is a good all around well balanced HD in size, price, and speed. I am convinced that this drive would make a good boot drive for a typical desktop or a second drive on a fast gamer machine.
It is nice to finally have all my pictures and old documents backed up in one place. Full trans fer and compression of one of my old 120GB NTFS ATA drive to the new Seagate took 2.5 hours.

Windows 7 and 8 recognized the drive immediately after format.

Software loaded effortlessly on my Windows 8 laptop and my Windows 7 desktops. This formatting task was done in less than 2 minutes including activation of the one 2TB partition. I used the MBR format option and NTFS using the Seagate Disk Wizard software. I formatted this new HD a week ago on my Windows 8 laptop through my Vantec USB 3 interface. This software is available online at the Seagate Website but you must use a Maxtor or Seagate drive as the source drive for the Seagate software to work. Using Seagate Disk Wizard allowed me to back up most of these old drives to this Seagate hard drive. This drive is used for backing up my ancient Seagate/Maxtor ATA Fat 16 and Fat 32 hard drives.
