What models? There's a big difference between the cheapest and the more pro models.

That said, my four 2Tb Barracudas still going fine after many years (10+). One failed, replaced with a green. Big mistake, that failed quickly and I went back to standard Barracudas.

They don't get used intensely though.



8TB Ironwolf NAS ST8000VN004


I've had terrible luck with those drives, out of 12, 10 failed within a couple of years. Not a same batch issue as they were purchased over the period of about 6-8 months and not even from the same place.

Yet I've got Toshibas that run hot and are loud as heck that seem to keep going forever.
