Is Seagate a good brand?
Is Seagate a good brand?
I'm looking to buy their 10TB harddrive because its on sale. I find conflicting answers from the past and present when I search.
Looking at the 2023 Q2 BackBlaze report, it seems you should absolutely avoid 10TB drives.
I don't trust Seagate.
But I'm also a western digital fanboy.
Just get it you'll be fine.
I was a long time samsung--wd user, recently just out of curiosity bought a 10tb external seagate drive.
performance is great, not loud but its 60°C idle... the plastic enclosure is terrible at dissipating heat and shucking it voids the warranty so that's that. Never had an external drive this size so i cant say its not normal for these, but all my internal drives even in external docks are chilling at 30-35 °C ...
tldr: if you buy, don't buy external
no
