what is it with hard drives? the quality is miserable.
i understand that after the flooding market demand required that the hard drive manufacturers ship everything they had, no matter how good or bad they were, but we should be back to a pre-flood market (yeah, prices are not quite there yet) and the quality is still bad (hard drives averaging 3 eggs on newegg with lots of reports regarding failed drives).
i don't mind solid state (which has seen an improvement in quality over the last year or two), but when i need space (hdd) more than speed (ssd), i need a hard drive.

I disagree, the quality of the drives is fine, but the quality of newegg reviews is poor. Anecdotal reports are meaningless.
