    I long while back (~15 years) there was a bit of a fiasco with Seagate drives. It had to do with firmware bricking some drives if I’m not mistaken. I was affect by this and didn’t have redundancy back then. I swore Seagate off from then on.

    Recently WD had the SMR situation where they had to come clean about it and now this.

    I feel like no mater who you go with, they try to screw you either way. That or maybe just go with Toshiba. Haven’t tried those yet. I’m not running a Synology anymore so that messaging won’t affect me, but it’s still annoying to know that it’s part of their business practices.

      Toshiba’s been fine for me and usually have the best price/GB where I live. Been using a BTRFS RAID 1 of 3TBs for years in my PC and more recently bought a 4TB NAS line one to get started on my NAS.
