kevinfisher Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Been researching parts for my NAS and was reading reviews of 1 TB drives on Newegg and there where some pretty tech savvy users complaining about the recent quality control of Seagate. Here is a link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=22-148-373&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&Pagesize=10&SelectedRating=1&PurchaseMark=&VideoOnlyMark=False&VendorMark=&Page=1&Keywords= There were, however some strong endorsements of Western Digital, especially this one with "RE3" (Raid Edition): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136313. Any thoughts anyone, also, has anyone had any experience with the new QNap TS-439 or 639 Pro? Kevin Link to comment
The Computer Audiophile Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Hi Kevin - Wow, that doesn't look positive for the Seagate drives. I've never had bad luck with Seagate and it is my go-to drive vendor. Hitachi is my backup drive vendor. Seagate does have a 5 year warranty on its drives. I think that's a sign of how good the drives are. If you want to get the best drives get the Seagate E2.S enterprise 1TB drives from NewEgg.

kevinfisher Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 Chris, I was pretty shocked myself. The "Poor" rating on the ES.2 was 23%. Here's the link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=22-148-295&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&Pagesize=10&SelectedRating=1&PurchaseMark=&VideoOnlyMark=False&VendorMark=&Page=1&Keywords= Seems like this is recent trend and I wonder if you bought yours before these problems started. I am moving out of the country in a couple months, so the 5 yr warranty is basically useless. I need something more reliable for sure! I will research the Hitachi's, but the WD is looking pretty good right now. Kevin Link to comment
