Are Seagates that bad? I don't remember that back in the days.
I bought a 5TB usb HDD (they call it Expansion Desktop) to do some backups at work... should I have gone WD My Book instead?

I don't know about longevity but general quality is higher on WD. Seagate is fine if you don't have any high demands. After all it's an HDD, no matter the manufacturer they could break today or in 20 years.

I haven't opened it yet, and WD just launched some nice deals on refurbished My Books.
You guys scared me for some reason... That's what got me thinking.

Might just stick with the Seagate and see how it performs, it has a two year data recovery guarantee either way.
