Yev from Backblaze here -> No reason to be ashamed! Truth is we still buy Seagates! Most likely they will work well enough in a home environment. All drives fail eventually. If you can get 3-4 years out of one, that's great!

Yes but usually people come to me because I'm the tech guy and they expect something better then "Take whatever you want. They'll all make it through the first 3-4 years" ;)
The worst part of it is: my own HDs are all Seagates and I use them longer then that...
