I think the bad Seagate rep is more historic. Same for WD being reliable. 10 years ago this was true

Seagate was a complete disaster around the time that maxtor bought it, which was purely expected.

Seagate and WD have swapped this position for as long as I've known either company. HGST is a WD product but -- and hear me out -- this is their only enterprise product worth putting any kind of trust in. their helium filled 0 friction drives absolutely mint, I've got first gen helium drives running still with perfect SMART. I am not shilling HGST, but I will buy them where available. I am however shilling for helium-filled drives because zero friction is definitely an added bonus to longevity in 24/7 enterprise operations
