What is the most reliable 7200 rpm 2tb hard drive available now?
Thank you in advance for any help.
It does not make sense to talk about "most reliable".
They all are not reliable enough to use without backup.
At the same time, they all are pretty reliable at the
monent (if treated well, regulal long SMART selftests,
reasonable cooling, alerting in place, etc.), no lemons
around at this moment AFAIK. That can change at any time
without warning, of course.
Note that for consumer-grade equipment, "pretty reliable"
means something like 5% failure rate per year and the
manufacturers are not aiming to improve that as it does
not make economic sense.
