Curious ask - How is Seagate's SSDs?

[remixedcat]

I was thinking about this and I'd thought I'd have a little cheeky ask on how Seagate's SSDs are compared to the spinner drives....

I wanna know how good they are overall, performance and above all RELIABILITY!!!

Although I haven't used any of their SSD's in a good while, when I did, they were great.... fast, reliable and they just worked plug & play OOTB, neveranottaproblemo....

I can’t think of any SSD in recent memory that has had reliability issues aside from OCZ Agility and Vertex when SSDs were first coming out.

They either work or they don’t.

They are… just like any other SSD from all the other big brands.
They all perform identically (to a point where you must measure the difference in a synthetic benchmark) and they are all very similar when it comes to reliability.

Unless we are talking about running tens of thousands of 'em, or the context is a specific product that has a widespread factory defect/design oversight (and I mean widespread as in you see double digit percentages of consumers complaining about it), I wouldn't worry much about reliability figures. That's a rabbit hole you'd best avoid.

As an example of Seagate hard disks to avoid, check out the Backblaze stats for the ST12000NM0007. I was considering buying some refurbished ST12000NM0007 drives on Amazon until I saw these figures. An 8.72% failure rate (admittedly for a sample of only 23 drives) hardly inspires me with confidence. Perhaps that's why they were cheap?
