Do you agree or disagree? Seeing that Seagate has the most, go figure.
Below is the hard drive failure data for Q3 2016. This chart is just for the period of Q3 2016. The hard drive models listed below are data drives, not boot drives. We only list drive models that have 45 or more of that model deployed.

    Look at the ratios (drive count to failures). HDDs are quite variable when it comes to reliability.
