It was those articles and the linked discussion that led me to the WD 
gold. It is my primary desktop running 24x7, replacing a Constellation 
ES drive. It runs a couple of degrees hotter (so working on boosting the 
air flow).
In the page you refer to above, the most reliable were HGST, thats now a 
WD company so you had to follow the discussions through from the start 
in 2013 to discussions on today's products. I was surprised how much the 
landscape has changed with many SSD drives now with 5 year 24x7 
warranties, still a bit pricy for 4TB.
