Nowadays my Seagate hard disks are no more capable for long lasting. They creates more problem especially when i use for editing. They become slow or malfunction after 1 or 2 years. I faced a lot problem in hard disk. Even 500GB Western Digital just last for 2 months. My files all unreadable in that WD hdd. So u guys can recommend a better hdd.:)
 
Wow.Every single Seagate HDD I have still works and some of them are 10 years old lol.I don't know what you do with your HDD when it lasts so short...
Here are my recommendations to you:

-Seagate
-Hitachi
-Maxtor
-Fujitsu siemens

Do not use:

-Toshiba

By the way you should always make backup of your important data at least once per 24 hours so if HDD dies you don't lose anything.Except HDD lol:D

Can i know ur hard disk made from which country? Here in Malaysia or Asian all the hard disk made from Thailand or China. Both of them manufacturing low quality hard disk. Even my friends also complaint that their hdd are not lasting for years. Thailand hdd is very worst. I hope i can get foreign hdd which is US or Europe. Now Samsung hdd also manufacture by Seagate.
 
You will not get a HDD made in america or europe. I think all hard drives are manufactured in Asia these days. This is also why the prices are so high right now, because of floods in Thailand.

Either way you go about it, Seagate and Western Digital are the top brands. But as with any component, you always stand a risk of loss, and not everybody has luck with all of the brands that are good. Just like not every line in every brand is good.

Look at the drive when you get it, as it will say. All of the drives are going to come from asia though. That is a world wide thing.
 
Samsung/Western Digital and Seagate are all good drives. Been building computers for years and really have had more Western Digitals die then Seagate. Seagate bought Samsung harddrive division a few months ago.
 
Every hard drive I've ever owned has worked flawlessly. Though I did build a rig for my cousin with a 500GB Seagate drive without reading the reviews and the drive died just under a year. Couldn't access the drive.

I try to run either Caviar Black or Blue drives myself.
 
I always use for encoding hd videos and editing application which requires large capacity of hdd. My old Seagate hdd are still work great. The problem is now hdd cannot last for at least 3 years. Western Digital just last fot only 2 months.

I already know why the hard disk are not quality. Because in Asian the hdd is not made under US and foreign patents. For US and Europe, they manufacture the hard disk under US and foreign patents.

You all are right. WD blue and green are rubbish drives in storage matter. Their error rate is higher than black caviar. I recommend the black caviar and Seagate ES constellation.
