    Wow. My homeserver drives generally last me 5-8 years before I replace them. Can’t imagine getting nag dialogs after 3…

    With mirrored storage spaces / raid10, who really cares if a single drive dies?

      For real. I’ve been happily running Seagate since then. If you’re still buying WD it’s kinda on you.
