As someone who's always disliked Seagate based more on vibes than actual facts, I feel so vindicated right now

I'm at work so I'm sorry for not being able to provide a source, but there's a website that tracks hard drive failure rates and Seagate is consistently one of the worst brands. So there's some extra facts for you.

Has that always been the case, or did they just start going downhill somewhat recently? I feel like I remember Seagate being the higher end drives back in the day, the next step up from WD. Definitely doesn't seem to be the case anymore.
