This is purely subjective as all enterprise class hdd have similar technical specifications & they all use identical manufacturing process. Unlike consumer class drives where there have been infamous examples of initial WD green models & certain seagate barracuda 7200.10/DM2000/DM3000 series models in 2011-2015 there has never been a "mass failure series" in enterprise class models in last 10-12 years as far as I know.

exactly, some people prefer WD's some prefer Seagate's and they always will, but all enterprise-class drives are pretty much good regardless of the brand, they are built for durability. We see a lot more Seagate than WD-branded drives in the enterprise-class, before selling drives, I use to not like Seagate drives, as I had some of their older models fail on me back in the day, after which I exclusively stuck to WD. now after selling Seagate drives, my inclination has shifted again so much so that I am now personally using all Seagate EXOS drives on my system and only have 1 WD RED drive.
