Over the last 15 years or so, I've probably had over 100-150 HGST hard drives both of the desktop and enterprise variants and only TWO have died (because they were sitting right behind the heater vent, which caused them to prematurely die due to the elevated air temperatures coming from the heater).

Other than that, I run HGST pretty much exclusively (even though, now I think they're a WD company anyways).

They're not the fastest performing, but they last.

I still have 500 GB hard drives from 10 years ago that are still going strong, and the only reason why they're still not in use is because I need more space (so I moved to HGST He10 10 TB drives).

My current NAS systems (three out of four of them) are running HGST Deskstar NAS drives. (The last one is running Ultrastar He10 because at the time, 10 TB Deskstar NAS drives weren't available).

I'm using three Qnaps and a Buffalo Linkstation for my NAS hosts.
