Many of these USB3 HDDs have 1 year warranty for a reason.
SMART check on a few month old Seagate USB3 disk I have shows
it has already exceeded worst case of many parameters! It
still works so I can't return it.

You can buy 5 year warranty WD Gold or RE for decent prizes
and can put together your own disk array.

I don't use a separate ZFS intent log on my main fileserver as
I don't rely on NFS much (mostly just readonly access).  I
also don't use a laptops for fileservice as they don't have
ECC memory.
