This company has used to be quite good, but recently whatever I buy from them - it dies in max 2 weeks. 5 products so far. I do not know..... maybe it is my luck....
The best HDD are made by DarkStar, Hitachi / HGST. Toshiba uses their technology, but not same quality materials. Just blueprints. It is like gigabyte distributor.
The only acceptable distributors right now are: Crucial, Western Digital, Samsung.
And for magnetic spinnable HDD - WD, Seagate, old Toshiba.
Just avoid Kingston and ADATA - very low quality and often overclocked so they wears off faster..... you know... china (soviet) quality XD
An ancient HDD drives known as Quantumm Fireball are immortal. They works in my PC's up to today after 30 years on constant spin! Most of devices dies after 40000 hours (lifetime of electrolyte in capacitors)

Catch this! Hera are statistics from company which offers Disk Space Online (cloud). They chews through dozens of their thousands HDD's everyday! OR 200 000 in 2022 and 270 000 in 2023 ;D And the best thing is their blog, where CO describes his fights with HDD supplies and car raids through USA to buy disks
