>HAHA WOULDNT IT BE FUNNY IF WE LIMITED THE SERVER POP BUT ALSO DISABLED THE QUEUE SO NO ONE HAS ANY IDEA IF THEY CAN LOGIN OR NOT

I was advised here that Seagate drives are being resold with their Smart data reset and made to look new, so it's a good idea to avoid them

I'm thinking of WD Red instead, but how do I know those aren't just going to have the same problem?
Is it safer to just get the Seagate and test it, then if it's shit, return it? Or just pay a bit more for the WD?
