https://www.newegg.com/seagate-barracuda-st8000dm004-8tb/p/N82E16822183793 Which is better? This Seagate or the WD blue from the post? Cache is higher on the Seagate, rpms faster on the WD

I think it comes like that from the factory. Mine had 0 bad sectors so pretty satisfied with it.

Mine just came today. Is it safe to assume WD packaged it this way for Amazon to ship? Did your scan check out?

Yeah, I just received mine in a plastic bag with a brown box inside containing the HDD with the plastic spacers to suspend the drive. Pretty disappointing. Scanning the drive as I type this.

These are not NAS or data center drives, they shouldn't move constantly.

Does this one have preventative wear leveling like the reds which move the heads every 5 seconds causing a small ticking noise?

I've never understood this - why can't you just use a VHS eraser as a quick, magnetic way to erase data on a HDD? It only takes about 15 seconds.....

I guess this is good for backing up your NAS? These move data at around 200 MB/s, but at least they're quiet.

It's pretty true in my experience of 30 years in IT, and thousands of drives. There were a couple especially bad batches of drives over the years of specific models, but most had very low failure...

If only this were true. I have clean power AND UPSes for all my systems, yet HDDs still fail. I've had drives from most vendors fail over the decades. I've also been surprised by the lifespan from...

But the failure rate is generally under 2%, and sometimes under 1%, so it's not a big concern. It's unlikely you will need to replace the drive at all. Especially if you have clean power and an UPS.

Leaving a PC on for 2 days shouldn't be a remote concern, unless it was built with one of those self-combusting power supplies. Many people leave their machines on 24/7. Despite what some...
