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.

    HGST is Always my go to as well, their drives just work and last a really long time in my experience

      I used to build usenet clusters, so constant read and writes 24/7. We had like a 2 percent failure rate after 6 years.
