Yup they are literally gambling their data at this point, annualized failure rates in the 20-30% range are literally defective by design and are worthy of some serious penalties, you are basically guaranteed to lose your data under normal usage

On the other hand it's alot less painful for a data center to swap out redundant drives than a home user who just lost their last week/month/year of data and needs to buy another main disk

mother of god

now that WD bought Hitachi, will Hitachi's percentage of failures go up until it reaches WD averages?

are they still made in differents fabs so there's still a difference in quality, or are exactly the same with just different brand?

>shuck tons of refurbed and external consumer grade drives, stick them in your shitty custom enclosures that expose the drives to more vibration then they were ever designed for or should be subject to, and then publish "reliability statistics" based off of that
The dataset is garbage. They also bought a ton of a known defective 3TB Seagate model.

I won't buy Seagate because of their shit warranty nowadays but I'll buy Western Digital without hesitation.

they run as separate companies it's just that WD has done fuck all with the assets and manufacturing processes they gained in the transfer
