Well, WD has different "color" drives to identify their intended use...green/blue being consumer, then I know there's red, gold, black and I think I saw some purple. RAID, NAS, 24/7, whatever purposes. I never looked into the details.
For years now I just purchased their external drives (the "My Book" series), then take them out of the enclosure if that's not how I want to use them. A few years ago those had the green labels, but lately they've been blue.
So I only buy the "cheap" drives, yet they outlive the "equivalent" consumer Seagate drives...that's all I know and that's all I can say. My own observations speak for themselves so that's what I'm sticking with.

Have you ever noticed how all the things we use to detect intelligent life are pointed away from the Earth?

I don't know if it's the greatest song ever, but Brad Delp (RIP) certainly had a great voice.

If you're going to mess with Notepad, why not add adjustable tab-stops?! That would be useful.
And maybe a recent file list -- why didn't you add that?
(I just began using a Windows 11 laptop.)

I actually like Win11's Notepad. It's quick and useful for ya know... taking down quick notes. It's not meant to be a programming tool.
What do you hate about it so much... given the fact it's meant to be quick and dirty for taking notes?
The theme? Tabs? It doing a soft close like Sublime? Notepad pee in your cheerios or something?

Tabs mostly, but now that I know about them, maybe I can get out of the habit of using the X in the upper-right corner -- which has been the way to do it for decades!
Oh, you dirty dogs! So now I see how to switch from "Continue previous session" to "Start new session and discard unsaved changes". 
A text editor does not have "sessions", dagnabit!
I see nothing useful added. Adding useful stuff would be worthwhile.
And I still need to find out how to have proper square corners on windows.

Jeremy Falcon wrote: it's meant to be quick and dirty for taking notes
Ah, I forgot to address that. Yes, quick, dirty, notes -- all day long. So features which enhance that -- such as adjustable tab-stops have been needed from the very beginning. Even a VT100 doesn't enforce eight-space TAB stops!
Anyway, other than simple notes, I also use Notepad for XML, HTML, and simple C# utilities -- and the existing TAB functionality hinders all off that. Not a big deal, but irksome when I naturally hit TAB. And read-me files too.

Again, Notepad isn’t designed for devs. So, pay a few bucks and start using Sublime. Don’t know why devs are so cheap when it comes to software. Yeah, tab alignment is whack in Notepad, but no need to get worked up over it. Nobody shot your dog man.

You don't need a recent file list if you use the jump list on the taskbar icon.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I replaced it with a SATA SSD and spent the next couple of days rebuilding the data from backups. (there was some permanent data loss and a lesson learned) In short, consider me jaded...I'll never buy another Seagate drive.
