Is Seagate still producing shitty drives that fail a few days after the warranty expired?

Hey, they told you how long they expected it to last ๐Ÿ˜…

Fair point. But still pretty bad. Literally two days after the warranty expired my Seagate drive was broken. This was my first and only Seagate drive. Never again.

Meanwhile my old Western Digital drive is still kicking way beyond it's warranty. Almost 10 years now.
