Wow I don't know what you all are doing to your hard drives. I have about 10 TB in storage in all, made up from about 6 or 7 drives from various manufacturers. I don't think I have a single HD drive that is less than 4 years old, and the oldest are probably about 10-12 years old. I also have 3 SSDs that are going strong, the youngest being 2 years old.

Mid 2012 Macbook Air with internal 128GB Toshiba SSD still going strong.
Over the first 3 years, since I purchased the Air, I went through 4x WD 1TB My Passport USB HDD. Portable in size but absolute rubbish when mobile, even taking the very slightest bump in a computer bag. In fact it was so bad there was always a queue waiting for replacements coming from Singapore at the local WD Service center.
1x Toshiba 1TB HDTB110 USB HDD I bought as a cheap stand in for the first WD that failed. It was faster, takes any minor bumps and is still going strong after 4 years. Note it resided in the same computer bag as the 3 other WD's that failed.
Seagate & WD are skimping in build quality. I don't recommend them at all anymore.

Here my harddrives usage over years
My seagate 80GB dead after 2 years
my seagate 200GB still works after 8 years
my seagate 500 GB dead in 1 months usage
My seagate 1 TB dead in 1.5 years
WD Green 500 GB daed in 3 years
My WD blue 1.5 TB dead in 2.5 years
My WD Green 2 TB still works after 3.5 Years usage
My intel 60 GB SSD still works after 5 years usage as photoshop scratch disk (massive write count)
My Team L3 120GB SSD still works after 2 years usage
my Adata 240 SSD still works after 3 years usage
conclusion : seagate consumer HDD suck beyond recognition (unless you got godly one), WD also have quite short life expectation (~3 years), and even cheapest SSD will have better life cycle than mechanical drives

Omar Mohamed, 12 Oct 2016You transfer/modify your data a lot, right?I used to have my PC run 24/7 and constantly work with data in memory, not sure if my software modified anything on the hard drive. Now I'm using my PC a lot less, although it stays on for the most of the day.

When it comes to HDD and reliability, HGST has ALWAYS been the best.
