Seagate now own Samsungs HDD dept, and Samsungs are actually a very decent drive. You can guarantee worldwide there will be millions of Western digital, Seagate, hitachi, Samsung, Toshiba hard drives that have failed. This is par for the course with them, and not really an accurate way of avoiding problems. I would reccomend avoiding Toshiba, Fujitsu, Maxtor, Hitachi drives, however I have also had to replace failed WD, Samsung, Seagate etc drives aswell over the years

Thats just it, people all have different expierience with hdds. I have 5 Sammys in my desktop, one failed (got a bad sector) and there was no cathestrphic loss which was nice. Still I've used Samsung, Seagate and WD drives in most builds I do for people and not had to replace a drive yet (and I've built a fair few machines now
)

You should never trust just one hdd for data backup, have the data span multiple drives, google drive/dropbox etc. You will very likely have zero issues with the hitachi, and I think in recent times they have improved drastically.
