Are 4+ TB drives reliable?

#1 Post by nubc »

Anyone have an opinion on whether a 4 TB desktop hard drive is reliable? A friend of mine eschews drives over 500 GB because he experienced catastrophic failures in several drives over 1TB, within 1.5 years of purchase. How do these large drives usually fail?

4GB are quite reliable. 3GB are notably not. No one really knows why ... http://www.lifehacker.com.au/2015/01/wh ... 3-tb-ones/
