I'm sorry hwæt
I genuinely don't remember the exact context, I think we were talking about like artificial insemination in farm animals? maybe not? genuinely cannot remember, but the whole car was evenly split between that exact reaction, and laughing uncontrollably

I used to see back and forth about WD vs Seagate. Some people had good experiences with Seagate, others WD. Some had bad with Seagate, other WD.
But now it seems to be pretty constant towards WD being better?
In my case:
All of my Seagate drives but one have died (and it's a 10K RPM Cheetah drive from 2005).
None of my WD drives have died. Not a single one.
I had a dead 1TB WD Blue that was clicking and somehow it came back to life. It has ~500 bad sectors (my brain says 537? 547? something around there), that number has stayed constant for three years now and it's never had a problem since.
I don't trust it, so I run it in RAID 1 with a 1TB WD Green with no issues so far, but it works fine.

I've had a number of WD Blue drives and they've all been fantastic. Only one that went bad was from Windows writing garbage across the entire drive and corrupting the ENTIRE drive. Full format with secure erase fixed it and it continues working as expected.
The Windows install went full "WE THREW OUT HIS NAAAAME" on the drive.

Still had more WD failures than Seagate here, and my whole HDD fleet has been Seagate for half a decade with no failure.
That said it's not that I've been a brand fanatic, it's just that here WD are typically significantly more expensive/TB than Exos.

I've had this WD Scorpio Blue 1TB for probably like 5 years now as a portable hard drive. It was a pocket hard drive for most of its time. Whenever the heads got stuck and it wouldn't start, hitting it on the table always fixed it. Most recently it got dropped in my driveway and lost under snow and ice for a week, until I found it in the melting snow, still working when plugged in. It's on its second enclosure since the first one died of lint, sweat, and the occasional water bottle breaking open on it.
