There are quite a few choices of brands when it comes to purchasing harddisks or ssd, but which one do you find the most reliable one? Personally had great experiences with SeaGate, but heard ChrisTitus had the opposite experience with them.

So curious to what manufacturers people here swear to and why? Which ones do you have the worst experience with?

Yup, knock on wood, I've had lots of Seagate drives over the decades and I've never had any of them go bad. I've had two WD drives and they both failed
