Are there any problems with this build?

Only one glaring issue... That seagate 3tb.

They are notorious for very short lived lives (A great deal die within a year of use)

 

If you don't want to lose all that data, get the far... FAR more reliable HGST drive for slightly more money.

Really? Oooft I have 4 of the 2TB ones that are coming up on 5 years old (with 2 years of 24/7 use) They are also reviewed highly. Is it just the 3TB ones that have reliability issues? I know for a fact the 1TB drives are pretty decent too and highly rated.

Seagate across the board has higher failure rates than both WD and HGST, but its their 3tb that is notorious for failing quickly.

unfortunately no, toshiba also are rather disliked for quality control.

The two best HDD brands you'll be able to get your hands on are going to be Western Digital, or HGST (Hitachi)
