There are quite a few choices of brands when it comes to purchasing harddisks or ssd, but which one do you find the most reliable one? Personally had great experiences with SeaGate, but heard ChrisTitus had the opposite experience with them.

So curious to what manufacturers people here swear to and why? Which ones do you have the worst experience with?

That would be called under-provisioning.

I haven't read anything about how an SSD deals with partitions, so I don't know for sure.

Since the controller intercepts the calls for specific locations, I'm inclined to believe that the controller does not care about the concept of partitions and does not segregate any chips, thus it would spread all writes across all of the chips.

Isn’t it overprovisioning because you’re artificially limiting the usable capacity of a volume?
