I had a similar experience with Samsung. I had a bunch of evo 870 SSDs up and die for no reason. Turns out, it was a firmware bug in the drive and they just need an update, but the update needs to take place before the drive fails.
I had to RMA the failures. The rest were updated without incident and have been running perfectly ever since.
I'd still buy Samsung.
I didn't lose a lot of data, but I can certainly understand holding a grudge on something like that. From the other comments here, hate for Seagate isn't exactly rare.
