Every time I read replies or comments from WD the less i want to buy anything from them again. Very disappointing as every few years i buy 1 drive that backsup all my previous backups plus the new stuff. So i guess all my drives are unsupported. Not buying any cloud solution, NAS ever. A company not taking care of its customers is either not worth investing or are about to go belly up anytime.
- coolspot 5y agoBest spinning hard drives though, especially after they acquired HGST.
- freeone3000 5y agoThe manufacturing of HGST got sold to Toshiba -- that's where you want to look for quality drives now. HGST is just another WD brand at this point.
- conductr 5y agoIs there a better alternative? Or are the competitors just a day away from their own disaster event?
- quijoteuniv 5y agoGood point, i did go for cheap and redundant with WD. Also i like to have spare power suplies, meaning 2 or 3 drives Within same line, will use the same. Did that with maxtor 15 years ago, those drives still work... but are 120GB. Not sure which is the brand to buy now. But it looks like is time for a change.
- foobar33333 5y agoNextcloud on a linux system is your best bet. And its a huge pain. You essentially have to learn devops and regularly check in to see everything is running correct. And then one mistake and your data is at risk. You also have to manage backups somehow which you want to be not on the same machine.
