  Seagate has more than bad batches. When every single one of their 1tb per platter barracuda drives have high failure rates then that’s a design/long term production issue.

  How likely is it that I got 4 to 5 bad batches over the space of as many years?

  Raid and offline backups these days, I eventually learned my lesson. One of which is stay away from Seagate.

    Within the realm of possibility. Especially if you treat them harshly (lots of start-stop, and low airflow and high temps). Backblaze collects and publishes data, and the AFR for Seagate is slightly higher than other manufacturers, but not what I’d consider dangerous.
