Headline:
1200+ 10T Seagate disks - ZERO (yes, ZERO) failures!!!
Seems that Seagate might be doing something about their poor reputation
for huge consumer disks? The numbers for 4TB Seagate models aren't
nearly so great (3-31% failures), so we still need to be careful in our
specific choices.
I consider any failure rates over 1% to be an "avoid" for my needs.
