I am certainly sticking with WD, although of course be aware of WD
totally botching the WD Red line by switching them to shingled drives
without telling people and breaking what the entire point of that model
line was (being excellent in RAID systems).  The original WD Red drives
are now the WD Red Plus drives (same exact model number as before,
new label).  It would take years of no more problems before I would
trust Seagate with my data.
