Every doggone one of 'em regardless of brand, are made in Singapore.

It is shared technology and give or take a few things, the quality level is about the same for all as far as durability concerns go.

Frankly, the terms, "durability" and "hard drive" should obviously be mutually exclusive.

I'd venture to say that the majority of hard drive failures are not due to hardware faults but to internal software probs. Unless you crash a head or the like.

It is a wonder that the things work at all.

Regardless of where they were designed, where manufactured or who manufactured them.

Failure is to be expected.

Backup accordingly.
