    So far I only have the the most common hadr drives by Seagate or Western Digitals but never owns one by Silicone Power. On Amazon USD 120 for a 4TB rugged hard drives it's attractive, but what's the quality ?

    From a quick google search, it seems that SP tend to use Western Digital hard drives inside of them (Blues for sure, maybe something else too?).

    Anyway, given that there are really only two hard drive makers left (WD and Seagate) and that they have comparable reliability when comparing similar drive models, the only major differentating factors between SP and other companies I can think of would be other stuff like warranty support, etc.
