    Ah yes, the Barracuda 7200.11 bugs. I wasn’t impacted by those but maybe it would’ve been better if I did - it might’ve kept me from buying a couple of those infamously bad 3TB drives they released a few years later.

    edit: also, FWIW, Toshiba is in the midst of spinning off a number of their divisions - including the one that’s responsible for manufacturing HDDs so it might be the case that their old HDD division ends up being bought by Seagate or WD - much like what happened to HGST.
