They seem to be real hit or miss. I also have 2 6TB barracudas that have 70,000 power on hours (8 yrs) that are still going fine.
"Hit or miss" is unfortunately not good enough for consumer electronics.
It means you're essentially gambling with bad odds so the business you're giving money to can get away with cutting corners.
Nice, I agree, I'm sure there is an opposite of me, telling their story of a bunch of failed WD drives and having swore them off.
