Best Hard Drive Brand, Seagate, Western Digital or HGST?

My seagate hard drive is 9 years old still working fine

Samsung?

the 3tb and the 1.5 are the worst possebly candedits for seagate tge 1 and 2tb drives are better

I'd like to see this updated for current'ish drives. 1.5 years is an age ago for IT gear.

Seagate always fail on me.

I've literally had nothing but problems with Seagate. Years ago I didn't care which brand of drive I bought but15+ years later the only drives that are still working are my WDs, all my maxtors and seagates have taken a crap. an IDE WD 30gb from around 02 still powers my pfSense box to this day.

Seagate is so different by a model.
Well, therefore Seagate is not a wise choice.

so, uhh... what were you saying? I was too busy looking at the trippy background

Seagate will mostly fail after 1 year. Since I have two Seagate 500gb drives that both of them fails after the promised 1 year warranty, such a good play there Seagate.
Best drive in my opinion is WD, I have one 2.5" WD Blue 500gb in my laptop and 3.5" WD Blue 1TB in my pc. Both still working fine for 5 years until now.
I have one HGST 500GB drive on my laptop, just after 1 year use, it doesn't fail, but slows down so much that it really kills the performance on the whole operating system.
Price to performance wise, those prices said the quality differences already.

WD are the ONLY drive I ever buy. I currently use 6 X 8TB drives (RAID 6) in my Qnap NAS. To quote Tina Turner 'simply the best'.

which software you use for editing this video???

i want to buy portable hard disk. which hard disk i will purchase. i will use this portable hard disk for playing game like gta v etc

I know this was a year ago but you can get a HGST on ebay for 70 bucks 3TB 1 Year Warranty my western digital portable died rip

Bad Audio. :(

HGST is sh*t

Hi whats is your intro music??

Wow dat intro

well i have my files over 3 drives so that a lot of backups, 70% of files are on two drives only wd green 3tb and wd blue 6tb the rest of 30% is over wd blue 2tb and earlier mentioned drives, one day i accidentally formated wd green 3tb drive which had 1.5tb data on it, had to pay the price of 60 pounds to get Ease US data recovery wizard and about 23 hours of time to get them back, it got recovered - thoose files were kept for years and collected within years but gone i matter of seconds not to make same mistake again i now better have 3-4 copies but wont lose it.

wd x 3 failed in 3 months

i have 320 gigs of WD sitting in my pc for 9 years and working like a charm

3 seagate 1tb failed in 2 years 1 bought after the other died . i will never buy a seagate drive.

I dont know what to do?
i had seagate for 5 years on my old pc and it didn't fail
Is WD much better?

I am lucky because my laptop came with an HGST hard drive

thx for your video

never more seagate. they produced very good and reliable hard drives until 2006. 2007 and newer seagate drives are piece of crap! don't store your data on them

It ain't Hitachi (that company went bankrupt). HGST belong to WD.

Seagate sucks, only time i intentionally bought one, it failed in 1 month, then 2 more failed in a couple of months, so i got pissed and somehow managed to get the online store i bought it from to change it to another brand, toshiba.. first one i got but at least this time its 2 years and no bad sectors or anything, also my laptop has a seagate drive... if i didnt get an ssd i would have turned it into scrap from how slow it is

iv had 2 sata wd black 1tb drives and 2 segate 1tb both the wd blacks screwd up due to power cuts at diferent times where as the segates didnt im not a tech geek i just no what didnt screw up for me when all drives wer brand new within 2yrs old from today's date

i still have a wierd unknown branded 15yr old 2.7gb drive that works lol.. i jus transferred it into a computer the other day also tryd fitting an old wd 200gb gues what the wd 6yr old drive didnt work but the old unknown 1 did lol..

IF YOU HAVE AN IDE DRIVE ....BUY a NEW COMPUTER!...I don't think IDE drives have been standard tech in over a decade ...SATA was introduced in 2003...and was mainstream by 2006.

hy sir plz I need ur help here I need hard how can I supposed to get it sir here is my phone number0760136233

Best external hard drive is Western Digital. Best flash drive brand is SanDisk

i have 2 seagate drives, 3 western digital drives, 1 corsair drive and 1 toshiba drive
a 1TB seagate expansion drive (157hrs power on time, working perfectly)
a 1TB ts1000 drive (currently in a data recovery lab because it failed after just 22hrs power on time)

a 2TB western digital drive (brand new, replacement for failed seagate drive)
a 1TB western digital green drive (19,000hrs power on time, working perfectly)
a 750GB western digital black drive (7700hrs power on time, working perfectly)

a 1TB toshiba drive (9700hrs power on time, working perfectly)

a 480GB corsair neutron XT SSD, (13,000hrs power on time, 18TB written, working perfectly)

My new WD Blue hard drive died after 5 months lmao

Can some one please tell me why is WD above 1TB has no 7200RPM ?

So far I've had my Hitachi hard drive for over four years now and it's still working great. I've used Western Digital and Seagate and those have lasted me no more than a year or two.

My HGST hard drive dies in the 3rd year. 😕
Do I go for WD blue 1 TB?

Western digital and HGST are pretty much the same brand. But at the end I still prefer a Hitachi.

Thanks, Very informative for selecting a hard drive for backup.

I have few external WD hard disk drives. No problem with them :-)

Hgst is the best than is tosihba than is Seagate at the end is WD according to data Center hdd fail rate at 2016

IBM HGST Hitachi and WD worst are Samsung , Maxtor and Seagate. SSDs only the Enterprise line from Micron.

Well my laptop is 8 years old and it has a hgst hdd and is working like nee he is loading like in 32 seconds in windows and it has windows 10 pro

When is the market going to catch up with technology? Computer drives don´t have to be mechanical, just solid state.

I have lost 3 Western Digitals in 7month time zone all green all new 2 8TB 1 x 2 TB all data cant be saved and the disc them selves are fine on 8TB was a back up of another. all were on IDE drives before, SATA drives sux

Hgst is wd. Very good

I am so confused. My friend recommended to buy seagate but in my think is best hgst

my 2009 wd black 160GB had only 8% health when i checked it, want something better actually, but im still confused, cause not many available on the market in my country

8 years later still holds true. Seagate simply doesn't use nice latest features like currently limited spin-up or anything a normal PC user won't recognize. Its cutting lots of corners while looking nice on paper(for layman). WD is way quieter in general, and has lower power consumption(which means they run cooler). and HGST focuses on enterprise drives. My favorite is WD or used HGST.

Wher is Toshiba?
