Re: A Colossal HDD Failure
I still have two Seagate drives in my main PC (2x Barracuda ES.2, ST31000340NS - one is Seagate normal, and the other is a IBM branded drive) and both are near brand new condition (I think the normal Seagate one has 1 bad sector and that was solely caused by me). 10 seconds for both to spin up, 5 second each.
As for platters, some WDs were way worse. I've had a 1TB WD Blue (Apple branded no less) LITERALLY pass the seek test with the platters looking the same as momaka's 1.5TB drives.
