Who are we?
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

Ah, so Seagate still sucks!
I think you're reading that chart wrong.
Curcial and WD havea much higher rate on average across all their models.
The 800% is only because they had a single drive for a certain model, and it failed within 2 months. They have a lot of other Seagate models that are much older on average without any failures.
Seems like a shining recommendation to me.
