NGL, I've been waiting on this. I don't trust Seagate, and it took a while for WD to do the 2 TB version.

Why the hell would you trust WD over Seagate‽ Genuinely curious, I've had nothing but bad luck with spinning WD drives to the point where I don't trust them.

Edit: it's an honest question and I'd like to know if I'm playing dumbass Russian roulette with SD ...I am a past victim of the death star WD drive. (Deskstar)

I'm on the other side of this argument.

I've got old WD 1TB / 2TB drives that were shucked' from enclosures around the time of the original Xbox. Those drives were thrashed, dumping / copying games / movies / whatever. Thrown into backpacks and dragged around to LAN parties.

Have some refurb HGST (post acquisition) 4tb drives that are still going strong.

Right on...well the best of luck. I think I need everything encased in concrete.
