I agree (about Seagate being more cost effective for e.g. a datacenter). As private user I had in general bad experiences with Seagate (e.g. years ago I bought 8 2TB drives for 2 raid5 and 2 didn't even spin up, 1 failed after ~1 year) => I'm using since then only HGST and (pls. no jinx) so far only 1 has failed, but it "warned me in advance" with weird noises and terrible performance for ~1 week or so. I now have at hetzner.de a host that has 3 4TB Seagate drives and I ended up building a 3-disks-raid1 instead of a raid5 because I'm too scared that when one drive fails, an additional one will fail as well during the rebuild-process when the remaining ones are stressed (a raid5 would then implode in this situation).
