Hm, I never knew that. Maybe the US factories are better than the rest

Yes

you ever used one? the reasons pile up. slow drives, prone to faults, noisy, hot. absolutely TERRIBLE external enclosures.

Yes, I have used several. The old external is a bit on the hot side, but the case is a $5 POS. That drive is 7 years old and going. Drive in system specs is 2 years and going.

WD makes some of the best drives on the market. Has for years. If you want to talk about drive failures, heat, and terrible quality, I would be glad to discuss Seagate in detail.
