…so what’s the best HDD company to buy from now? Crucial?
I got two crucial SSDs recently.
The first one was DOA and was so broken that the two motherboards I tested refused to power on with it installed.
The second one was a replacement for the first and exhibited the exact same behavior.
I did not get a third. Maybe their HDDs are better, but I'm not planning on finding out.
Hard drives are essentially just WD and Seagate. All other hard drive companies have had their hard drive division bought out by either company.
Its only SSD which has other players
Toshiba still makes hard drives. That's basically the three remaining big manufacturers.
Seagate

Hynix Gold/Platinum are good, in case anyone is looking for replacements for their NVMe SSDs.
Wow, I really like WD SSDs, I got an SN850X and it's blazing fast. I really like that you can change the sector size as well, most SSDs don't bother with 4k sectors and just leave you with 512b ones.
