before my current crop of 8TB WD reds, I ran Toshiba enterprise drives and they were extremely reliable for me. none of them failed in a 24x7 hardware raid6 environment after a few years. only replaced them to upgrade capacity.

I've used them for years. for the price I can't complain. usually takes 45 minutes max for a disk swap. the only part that can suck is dealing with abuse complaints, they're pretty heavy handed, but still fair.
