I, in common with many others, use HDDs for archiving data. The reliability of HDDs doesn't seem to have increased at all over the last decade. I remember the standard Seagate warranty was 5 years pre-2009; now it seems its a useless 12 months ! A sign of the lack of quality, components & assembly, in today's HDDs ?
Having just lost a new Seagate HDD hybrid (ST4000DX001) I'm shocked at how little informed debate and the lack of current reviews on HDDs anywhere. This link is useful but not the total answer, the HGST drives they report on are no longer current...

As I am not a buyer of, what is termed enterprise class 24/7 HDDs,( they are 3x as expensive) am I now going to be forced to buy 2 consumer grade HDDS to hardware\software mirror, to give me the failsafe redundancy I took for granted a decade ago ?
