This is coming from some who has bought many seagates and western digital blacks. I once had to RMA 8 seagate drives in one week. WD blacks and RE4s are miles better. HGST is probably the best. #seagatesforidiots. Look up the statistics seagates fail like crazy. I know of data center were they bought a bunch of seagate drives for their new servers and one failed every 3 hours or so.
