Well, woke up this morning to an email from my Synology NAS that one of the drives was failing. Got Seagate Exos X 16TB drives in there that I purchased last year. One drive was DOA and immediately replaced by Seagate, all other ones were fine and are/were working flawlessly until now.
Called up their tech support and they are going to send me a replacement drive under warranty, so no complaints there. But the fact that this particular drive did not even last 12 months... Makes me a wee bit weary. 50% failure rate in a year? Hmm...
...and I thought Seagates were decent HDD's... :sadwalk:
Well, they used not to be, at least I made an effort not to use them for the longest time. But apparently/supposedly they had cleaned up their act, and since this drive is an enterprise system drive and not really for personal use, I figured I'd give it a shot. The price was decent (a tad above $300 for 16TB), and I was not about to support Western Digital after the shenanigans they pulled last year. Not sure where that leaves me for now. I guess as long as they are willing to swap them out under warranty, it's semi-okay; but I only have a one-disk redundancy in my system, and if ever two of their drives fail at the same time... Probably should change that the next time I replace one of the older/smaller drives.Quote:

(Short true story... others and I made a small fortune doing warranty swaps in the mid to late '90's on old Seagate drives... it was a 5 Year warranty back then... technology was moving so fast... by the time the smaller drive failed... they HAD to swap it for a much LARGER drive... we then sold the latest and greatest!) ;) :alien:
