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

saves on datacentre floorspace as well because you can have one rack floating above another
