Personally I find that Samsung’s HDDs are good, but I only have one 500GB drive and two 1TB drives from them, so… it’s hard to say.
It is tricky, individual experience doesn’t count for a lot as they are so mass produced.
I have owned 9 Samsung spinning hard drives over the past 4 years, and my old workplace had 19 of them. Every single one of them has died. The Samsung SSDs I have been using over the past few years haven’t missed a beat, but I’m sure someone out there has had a catastrophic experience with any of the storage manufacturers we could care to name.
