minus-squarederanger@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up15·24 hours agoWhen I was putting together my NAS, WD was selling their NAS grade drives without disclosing they were SMR. They got hit with a class action for this. They’re all trying shady shit, no HDD will run forever, no corporation cares about you, so use whatever you want and backup your data. I have 114TB of Seagate drives right now and they’re fine. I’d use WD too, or HGST. The fanboyism around HDDs is so strange to me.
