Damn, WD's been my go-to brand for drives for years.

Brand is mostly irrelevant with storage devices in my experience... It's usually just a matter of luck.

Unless we're discussing the Quantum Bigfoot...

Yes please use seagate hahaha 🍿

Seagate is fine. They had some notoriously bad models, but on average, they're pretty similar to WD, at least in the HDD space.

For SSDs, the more important thing is that NAND tech, not the label on the device, and the same brand can carry high quality and low quality NAND chips.
