sixwheeledbeast Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I always use and recommend WD drives. I have Cavier Green's in my desktop. Interesting article thanks for sharing. In a server situ is the cost difference worth it, if you have full RAID? You could either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixwheeledbeast Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I use Seagate for all, slightly concerned lol, I'll have to replace the tsi drivesI find a huge amount of Seagates that fail, especially in DVR's. In fact I think I can say every disk failure I have seen has been a Seagate. Had a <12 month old Ademco DVR with a Seagate start rattling last week. Remember the floods a while back and HDD prices rocketed, only Seagate where producing disks at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 I had a load of wd drives fail a few years ago. I used to like Hitachi but have used Seagate for some years now.

PeterJames Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I had a load of wd drives fail a few years ago. I used to like Hitachi but have used Seagate for some years now. I have about 20 or 30 of old 250gb IDE Hitachi Drives that failed in DVR's. They still work so I am loathed to throw them away. I used a couple to store some handy backups of stuff on theyre fine for that sort of thing, I just cant rely on them for any important or DVR's. I like Seagate but WD have been reliable so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breff Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I use Seagate Pipelines, they are the drives Sky use in their STB Quote The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct! (Except when I'm wrong)(which I'm not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
