Hopefully your alternative isn't Seagate.

Why is Seagate a problem in your opinion? I've been looking for NAS and it seems I'm still uneducated in that department.

Same reason the next person after them will say the same for WD, the next one Toshiba, the next one Hitachi.

Bad experiences sour your perception of a brand.

i would base my judging on backblaze spreadsheet, google it, its a cool site. i dont care about HDDs anymore, but Seagate there always has high failure rates.
