I always knew that, if Seagate somehow stays in business, then they must have some customers somewhere. You must be the one.
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.

Yeah you're correct about all of that. I have a maxtor 750G that's 18 yo and still going. Always on a surge suppressor, always in a cool dry environment, never moved.
