    Too bad, i deleted everything on reddit, would.have loved to comment on every HGST fanboy and Seagate hater i had discussions with the last few years.

    TLDR buy the cheapest drive you can find (new)

      I agree to a point. I’ve been buying used SAS drives for cheap on eBay. Not a single failure in the dozen or so that I’m running right now in my server. I have a few spares sitting on the shelf just in case but I’m not expecting to use them for some time.
