This is true, but between drives branded Western Digital and Drives branded Hitachi / HGST, I've noticed a huge difference.
I'm not imagining it either:
WD drives are literally the worst.
Been a while since I checked the Backblaze drive reliability reports, but it looks like Seagate has really cleaned up their act over the last couple years. Fortunately, being owned by WD hasn't seemed to affect the quality of HGST drives. :) I'm going to be in the market for a new set of NAS drives later this year, so I'll definitely be checking out the HGST offerings.
