It is pretty clear that you have less of an inclination against Seagate than my experience dictates me to. Stats can be twisted to tell anything, and my twist on what I’m seeing tells me to steer away from Seagate; your interpretation can most certainly differ.

Stats can be twisted

Exactly. My argument here is to be careful with published stats, because they're easy to misinterpret, and they're also easy to misrepresent.

Backblaze's data is good, just be careful when making conclusions based on it.
