I always knew that, if Seagate somehow stays in

Seagate shipments for 2019 were just ahead of Western Digital shipments
with Toshiba trailing well behind.
Over the years it goes in cycles. Manufacturers cut corners until they
get a crap reputation and then they have to invest to build their
reputation back.
We've got Seagates, Western Digitals, and even some Maxtors. Some
of them must be twenty years old. If you protect them from heat
and physical shock and power surge the MTBF can be over a century.
