Every hard drive manufacturer had a bad model horror story at some point. Don't be so scurred..
So in your circumstance, get 2 external drives but don't get them at the same time or from the same store. Try to stagger their ages if they're going to be used simultaneously to reduce the likelihood of them failing together. If you're going to be plugging one in permanently and plugging the backup in at regular intervals to do the backups (if you're responsible enough to remember), then they can be from the same place/age/production since one is cold storage
Most have their own personal hard drive horror, and click of death, stories from all drive manufacturers. Some have good luck with WD or Seagate, others don't. Years past Seagate did have one specific line of drives that were lemons and some use that as justification to avoid Seagate all together. Shrugs. Their choice.
Drives fail. Period. Back them up (which one should be doing for any critical or irreplaceable data) if one is worried about it.

I got the WD 5tb black drive from Amazon last year for $92, the passport drives with 3-yr warranty have also been in the $90s, while the BB easystore is only a 2-year warranty and more expensive. No thanks.
Over paying for drives is only warranted if you absolutely need it today. If you can wait, I'd say wait.
This type comment comes up all the time. I've been waiting for months for a good deal. How long should one wait? A month? Two months? Till black Friday? What would be considered a good deal?
Why pay $99 for a 2 year warranty? I'd even pay the $10 more for a third year, but again, do what you need to do.

And I didn't get my black drive on any special occasion. Amazon had them, that was the price, and I bought it. Prices change all the time so you don't know what it will be tomorrow.
I have no problem with BB, but this isn't really a "deal" IMO...

Any thoughts on...
WD Easystore 5TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive - $99.99
Finally, a voice of reason.
I have this. Have had this since 2013 and it runs like a top. Use it for all my footage for immediate and then longterm storage. It's usb 3.0, and takes it's own power. From what I remember of the original thread, it's schuckable to a Red drive, but its more utility to me as a portable until it breaks. Plenty of 100gb SSDs floating around for any random internal space needs.
I paid $79 on BF over 5 years ago (might have been 2016, but I can go through my email for receipts if it's that dire. Bought it from BB on a price match to the sale on amazon at the time

WTF? Sorry "genius" (that's a joke) but can you read? Do you see your post in the FULL context as I read it and copied above?
You either don't know what you're saying, writing, or both, because from your post when asked for thoughts about "this" drive, you spout nonsense about having purchased "this' drive in 2013. It didn't exist.
Seriously, that's a good trick. Can you buy a 30TB drive now for all of us? I'll take two.. For $99 each.
WTF? Sorry

You can maybe use them as shingles but there are cheaper shingles at home depot.
How would I get the Shingles virus particles to cover and stay put on my roof?
Except for SSD, are people buying drives of this size any more?
So in your circumstance, get 2 external drives but don't get them at the same time or from the same store. Try to stagger their ages if they're going to be used simultaneously to reduce the likelihood of them failing together. If you're going to be plugging one in permanently and plugging the backup in at regular intervals to do the backups (if you're responsible enough to remember), then they can be from the same place/age/production since one is cold storage
So that means 3 backups: Primary stays on always. Secondary and tertiary rotate to offsite.

Lmfao in another thread I posted that Seagate is prone to failures in today's day and I didn't recommend it. I got downvoted by 60 points. Now it's happening again but reversed 🤣
