I had an ExcelStor hard drive in the past and it was the most reliable drive I’ve ever had. I normally replace them when they died but that one never did, I just ended up retiring it when its capacity was no longer worth the electric cost to keep it running.
Comment on Western Digital runs out of HDD capacity: CEO says massive AI deals secured, price surges ahead

Oh when will China start making HDDs and SSDs and GPUs and CPUs
PLEASE China PLEASE flood the market with cheap, top shelf computer parts that will force Western corporations to lower their prices or go bankrupt when they don’t

They‘ll just make it with secret phone-home data spying and backdoors for themselves.

For now, once China becomes the dominant power, they will certainly abuse it as much as the USA do.

Even if that happens (which is not a guarantee), it is no worse than status quo. Until then, unless you are an active threat to China, and are planning on visiting it, you don’t have to worry about it.

It seems to be that you’re mistaken, the NSA and Snowden aren’t Chinese, they’re from the USA

Well if the choice is between cheap spying hardware and expensive spying hardware…

Also it is a bit easier to de-spyware chinese devices.

They do make hardware in most of those categories, actually, but they don’t sell much of it direct to consumer in the West. And unfortunately, the way things are going, they’re going to be able to get better prices for it from the AI-entranced idiots too.
