Any recommendations for a 20TB hard drive?
Hi everyone, I am currently looking for a new hard drive to add to my media server and want to buy a 20TB drive. Now the question is what manufacturers would you recommend or avoid?
As far as I can see it's either Toshiba, Seagate or WD.

Ive got a pair of 12TB Seagate drives in a NAS that have been running great for a few years, now.
I've heard varying opinions on Seagate's longevity, so your mileage may vary. So far, they haven't given me any issues.
Yeah I heard that too, wasn't sure if it was only their SSDs
It wasn't SSDs, it was regular spinning drives back around 2009.
Nah, it’s SSDs right now as well my friend: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/05/sandisk-extreme-ssds-keep-abruptly-failing-firmware-fix-for-only-some-promised/
That's not Seagate, that's SanDisk (owned by Western Digital).
Wow, you’re right, I’m sorry. I hadn’t had any coffee yet haha
