my friend who works for a computer hardware shop (and he is a computer enthusiast) told me that for consumer type of hard drive, hard drive of 3T capacity is the worst drive in terms of design and technology, and he commented that either 1T, 2T or 4T is much better in their durability. He explained with a lot of technical terms but I have forgot most of that.
He concluded that it's only because of marketing reasons (i.e. in order to offer more choices to consumers) and that's why it still exists , and it can still work, but it's more likely to fail more quickly than other hard drives with different capacities.
I am now learning to build up home NAS and RAID for small home storage, and buying more hard drives is going to be necessary. I'd like to know if anyone can validate what my friend said?
