I hear that, I have had my share of failures a bit of everything including WD.
Follow Ups:
They all fail eventually, and they've all gone through their ups and downs with good and bad batches.
The only brand I recall standing out for superior long term reliability was HGST (Hitachi), but that was before they were acquired by WD. I say this based on the disk drive qualifications that my company and others go through before choosing their drive vendor for their RAID array products.
My company has chosen different brands over the years and that's based on which brand appears to be most reliable at that time.
I'm not sure if HGST still has their own production line or if their manufacturing is now merged with WD.
That's what I have been using , Hitachi. I'm not sure about the new ones either, but they might still have some models that they produce. That's a good news, the bad news is that I've had Hitachi drives fail also. No matter what, I make sure I have multiple backups that's the only thing to do. The size of these drives are more of a detriment than a benefit sometimes, a small server drive can rebuild quickly, a 4tb drive takes forever . My worst failure was when one nas drive failed and during the rebuild the added stress on the other drives caused a second failure. Luckily I had double redundancy but still had to have synolgy remote into the Nas to enable a full USB back up procedure.
