Western Digital and Seagate come out of the same plants in Thailand and Indonesia and don't last. I had a 14 year old Toshiba Laptop with a Toshiba disk, The disk died after 14 month when the warranty has expired. Replaced it with Samsung disk. The Laptop was used until very recently 24/7 as mail and web server with buld in UPS (battery) until the screen and keyboard died. The Samsung disk is still alive and well as a plugin backup for the replacement Laptop server.
