I want to buy a good and quality hard drive for my PC and I found this. What's your take on this?
Seagate ST600MM0109 600 GB Hard Drive

You're wanting to spend 6.5 grand on a 600GB Hard Drive? You can get 1TB 10K RPM drives on Amazon for $60Also that website seems... suspicious.
To your question. Any company can make good and bad products. Seagate's been in the hard drive game a long time and many of their models are great. Some, particularly the 2TB+ sizes of the early 2010's were known for problems. My 1TB Barrucuda I first installed in September 2011 is still running in the exact machine I type this on now. Research based on specific model statistics, not brand allegiance. I'd apply that to really any product too.

According to that link, that price is for a 40 pack of drives. so basically it would be $164 a drive. You can buy a drive off Newegg, Amazon or even your local electronics store as its not gonna make a difference. As Darren as said, that website is a little odd and I wouldn't buy from there.
That partially explains the price but yeah that whole website gives me bad vibes. I dug into the company and they're some tiny office in California. Just how clunky and slow the website is, I wouldn't even try it.
