> Why is it always seagate when there's something wrong with HDDs?

It's either Seagate, Western Digital, or the rotating third player in the market, but there haven't really been any other options for scanadals.

I can't remember the last time the third player had a big scandal, but WD certainly goes through them from time to time. IBM DeskStar is a name that will live in infamy, but that was from before rotational drives really consolidated.
