Looking to replace my current "main" external media drive, which is a WD MyBook. I've had a couple Seagate external drives fail on me but this was probably over a decade ago. I've also had WD fail on me but overall, I seem to have a better impression of them. I want to get the largest external drive within a reasonable price. Largest MyBook is a 26TB. Largest Seagate is a 28TB and it's significantly cheaper than the WD.

  1. How in the Seagate so much cheaper per TB than the WD? Are news on WD releasing larger MyBooks and making their price more competitive?
  2. How reliable are Seagate drives these days?
