Western Digital Blue Vs Seagate Barracuda

I want to get a 2TB hard drive for storage for my upcoming build. At first, I was more than than willing to get for Seagate'due south Barracuda over Western Digital's Bluish. Yet, after watching some videos and hearing some rumors about Seagate'south lack of reliability, I started to change my mind. In terms of operation and speeds, the Barracuda is definitely better. However, my priority is stability, reliability, lifetime, and the ability to recover the data within the HDD after it dies. A lot of people in the comments section of a YouTube video have been saying that Barracudas dice very speedily and are well-nigh impossible to recover data from due to their low quality parts or something like that. I'm sorta confused right at present. Which one should I go for? Should I go for the WD blue? Is it actually more stable, reliable, and like shooting fish in a barrel to recover information from? Or should I get for the Barracuda since it'due south more than popular? What do you guys call up?

P.South: I desire a 2TB bulldoze, if that matters.

I've been dealing with Seagate and Western Digital drives for many years.
I think they are both mostly decent manufacturers especially when compared to some others.
Overall.....I take had more Western Digital drives neglect than Seagate drives.
If I have a choice.....I'd go with Seagate.

WD has lower failure rates just fifty-fifty with college end models there's always the take a chance of something happening. The near important thing to do is to utilize backups for any important files.

Not certain which is why it's of import to take backups (either online or another HDD). Also having a visitor practice the recovery is very expensive, much more then buying another 2TB HDD.

I've had one WD drive fail, no Seagate failures so far.
I currently have a 3tb barracuda in my pc which has been working well for 3 years.
And a vii year onetime 1tb Barracuda in a secondary pc (much less used) which too works completely fine.

If y'all're storing a lot of of import data and so get a second disk for backups as suggest higher up.

Go for whichever is cheaper.

Both are reputable, simply always backup.

What is the model number of the WD HDD? WD HDDs don't ever study their true RPM.

Corsair MX500 SSD....

For only 1 or 2 TB, the prices are still reasonable...; virtually $110 and $209, respectively...

No need to worry about which upkeep spinning drive is likely to fail start...

I bought Seagate just because it has faster rpm and faster speed, but that speed drops to itch thirty-40MBs after few seconds. I would recommend you WD Blue.

WD Blueish.

I have new Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm 2tb 256mb cache and while benchmarks are corking, real world scenario sucks, copying drops to itch 20MBs. I would be hapier if I bought 5400rpm WD Blue, I only know they are better, because even my old 512gb WD Green 5400rpm is faster than 2tb 7200rpm 256mb cache Seagate Barracuda. Everyone is looking at benchmarks, but people should expect at copying file performance. I dont know what to practice with this drive, I wanted to claim warranty, only I recall disk would perform the same, I made a mistake and should have bought 2tb WD Bluish EZRZ, but on paper Seagate looks amend, thas why I went with Seagate.
