The first ones that haven't developed any pending/remapped sectors during the 9 months they have been in 24/7 use. Previously tried different Seagates, with constant problems (And yes - Had the SCT turned on). Also tested a WD red, but saw similar symptoms developing and so degraded that to a storage disk for my boy... HGST was some 20€ more expensive and hard to get here but definitely worth it.
