Question ! I'd like to change my HDD, I lost a 3To full of movies (RIP), so I'm going to update all my drives

I'm going to take a bunch of Hitachi 4Go, my major concern is the reliability of the drives. Any advice / recomandations ?

Hitachi drivese are among the best HDDs on the market.

Every quarter or so we get data from a data/cloud computing company about its hard drives reliability, and it's a good indicator on how a certain drive will perform. The latest report was Q3 2017: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-failure-rates-q3-2017/

HGST is the acronym for Hitachi Global Storage Technologies.

Yep. Hitachi have a great record at the moment.
Although... They used to be rubbish and were dubbed "Deathstars".

Personally, I stick to Western Digital thanks to warranty since Samsung spun off it's HDD business.

At the moment I have 3x 4 Terabyte and 3x 3 Terabyte Western Digital Elements hanging off my PC (All full.) So I am in the process of building a NAS with 30 Terabytes of storage using Western Digital Reds so I can ditch them all.
