SEAGATE ST4000DM004 or Western Digital WD40EZRZ?

Question

Hard disks

I can't decide which is better to buy SEAGATE ST4000DM004 or Western Digital WD40EZRZ? The price is about the same, not in this case. I'm wondering which is better in terms of reliability. And does this SEAGATE model have head parking problems like WD?

Answer 1

I'm wondering which is better in terms of reliability.

Hitachi (HGST) or Toshiba (even better if those models that used to be Hitachi).
Or older WDs, which are actually HGST (compare with real photos of disks).
Seagate (especially the DM series) I would only consider if there are no more options.

Answer 2

Consumable or consumable? What a priori unreliable consumable to choose?
Yes, it doesn't matter. Flip a coin. Any HDD is a consumable that, only by pure chance, pretends to be a worker and is able to read what has been written to it for some time.
If you want useless numbers, look at the reports of the same backblaze , but they don’t have the first or second model.
