A lot of people look to https://www.backblaze.com/b2/hard-drive-test-data.html as a source for disk stats. Under 1TB HDs are getting rare as they tend to be replaced by SSDs at that size. If your size is really 500GB, perhaps a pair of SSDs mirrored will get you better reliability. Not sure of your use case however. ---Mike On 6/28/2022 1:21 PM, Robert Huff wrote: > A disk drive on one of my machines is dying. > I'd like to replace it with a _reliable_ (the old one lasted 10+ > years at moderate loads) consumer-grade SATA II or higher drive of at > least 500 gbytes. > Any particular product lines getting consistantly good reviews? > And what should I avoid like flesh-eating bacteria? > > > Respectfully, > > > Robert Huff > >
