Seagate launches World's Slimmest 2TB portable drive, only 9.6mm

True, but every company has failing units. I also only have 1 WD drive (or well 2, 1 external, still working after 7-8 years), still works, but installed Seagate in the builds of others, still working after years. 

imo, from what I've seen Seagate has high failure rates than any other.

WD Green 1TB - Seagate 2.5" HDD 1TB - Seagate Barracuda 500GB - Antec X1 E.

If OP has 10 out of 10 drives die on him that says something to me about the environment he puts the drives in or what he does with them. :P

Eh, not sure. I've never had an HDD die on me by itself (I have a dead 500 Gb Samsung, but it has been slammed into a floor a number of times).

 

I own both WD (Green in multiple capacities) and Seagate (1 Tb) btw. I've heard Seagate's 1.5Tb drives were utter garbage.

Any unknown button should be pressed even number of times.

IDK, but Seagate produced some decent drives back in the IDE times. All my school PCs has Seagate drives. I'm not sure about now. But they were 10 years old when I was in school.

10 out of 14. Not all are my drives.

 

Some are my friend's. They gave it to me hoping I could repair that. But ended up being failed.

10/14 is still a shitload :D I'm more of a WD guy myself, but I've yet to have a single drive of either vendor fail on me (or my friends).

 

guess I have a good juju

I think you just had a string of bad luck then tbh, but that's merely my opinion.

A 2TB seagate drive, i'll pass. It's bad enough with there normal 2TB drive but a micro one, no thanks, if I get seagate it's going to be 1 platter ( so 1TB) also I doubt this is cheap thus making it pointless as ssds are a thing.

their normal 2tb drives are fine. i have 2, one external, one internal, and there's no issues whatsoever, even if i run them 24/7 for 4 years there wasn't a single issue.

Well based on statistics I will not buy them over WD, Their current 1TB models are good but the others (1.5, 2, and 3TB<--this one most of all) have a bad rep, either way this drive is likely going to be too expensive for me to care either way, whether it is decent or not.

Just searching for "Seagate meme" in the Google Images, I see a lot of memes about Seagate drives. At the same time I searched for "Western Digital meme", and I see nothing.

 

Don't kill me.

 

Just saw your signature.

i would never ever buy a western digital hard drive ever again. they're too unreliable for me. all of the seagate drives seem decent to me and plus i can get them cheaper than any comparable wd drive ever.

Any 7mm HDDs with 2TB capacity? 

What other possible way could they have a 2TB external drive that is 9.6mm other than use a 7mm HDD?

Everyone has their preference, as I said their current 1TB drives have good reliability, it's really drive by drive, honestly my current drive isn't from either company so in the end it doesn't matter much either way to me, all drives are at constant risk for failure.

I haven't seen any 2TB drives that measures 7mm.

 

Do you have any link if any available?

My point was it would have to be a 7mm drive with the last 2.6mm being the enclosure

Thanks for the link.

 

I got your point on the first one itself. Just not aware of any 2TB 7mm 2.5 inch drives.
