HDDs are old, stable, and consistent technology. Any brand you buy is going to be fine. Most new drives come with a 5 yr warranty against failure. Save your receipt.
3 most common
Western digital
Seagate
Maxtor owned now by Seagate
I would opt for Seagate first ,but these days failure rates have increased
so maybe a retail WD then Seagate then Maxtor.
heat is killer
keep them cool
