"Seagates fail kind of a lot..."

That Seagate 10 TB was the singular standout in terms of reliability. Maybe it is worth checking out.

If there's one thing I've learned from seeing these reports over the years, it's that the specific drive model matters more than the brand.

Yeah. There was that one Seagate 3tb a few years back. I think they had a 26% afr before yanking all of them.
