@nik HGST drives are legit if you can get them, otherwise WD is good and Toshiba is ok~No opinion on Samsung and Seagate can burn for all I care

@freon @cant_into @nik That would be HGST and WD (who bought Hitachis hard drive division). Toshiba is it's own thing

@freon @nik I mean, if it's not an SSD and it was properly built, new old stock should be fine right?It might be cheaper since it's a 'noname' brand too

@cant_into @nik i imagine they're fine and probably better than anything WD, but the prices have likely shot up from before. supply vs demand etc.
