  HGST is Always my go to as well, their drives just work and last a really long time in my experience

    I used to build usenet clusters, so constant read and writes 24/7. We had like a 2 percent failure rate after 6 years.

  I have 3 slots left in my drive bay. It doesn’t have to be 1

    Quick note - HGST enterprise drives are great but those fuckers are LOUD. I’ve had one in my PC for a number of years and it’s done great, pretty quick too - but I can hear it across the room.

      And expensive, a 10TB from them costs as much as a 20TB one from Seagate

        Refurbished is the word. I got a Ultrastar DC HC520 (12 TB) with zero hours from eBay for 130€. I guess it was originally intended as a replacement but was never used then and just collected dust. So basically brand new hardware. Sometimes you can even catch one that has still manufacturer warranty. One i saw had 5 years left on it.
