I keep hearing how Seagate drives are less reliable than Western Digital drives.
How truth is that? Western Digital drives seems to be more popular as well, is it because they are shuckable? I will only be using the drive as an external. Being shuckable is a bonus in case I need to recover data

Thanks

Honestly, it really depends on your luck.
I have a working 2 TB Lacie external drive that I think is more than 8 years old.
Haven't bothered to check the manufacturer of the drive inside.
I've also had a WD external external fail within their warranty period.
Just buy as many as you can afford and make backups.

I have several Seagates and I've never had a problem with them. Maybe I'm jinxing it by saying anything but I wouldn't be afraid of them if I was you.

Based on what I've read, they seemed to be slightly more unreliable. BUT WD reliability got boosted by the HGST purchase - IMHO Hitachi were the best drives.

Slightly unrelated but this year I have tossed 3 Seagate drives and one WD.

Look at Blackblaze data and make your own conclusions.

I have over a dozen Seagate drives ranging from 1TB to 8TB. I've had some since 2014 or earlier. Only one has failed (knock on wood). Fortunately it was mirrored and the backup is OK.

All drives can fail. I found using some soft thin foam shelf liner from Home Depot under the drives, and keeping them well-ventilated by standing them on end like books and separated by at least 2 inches, and cooling them by keeping the room cool and ventilated seems to make them last longer. Vibration and heat are the top two killers of any hard drive, I think. Humidity probably also plays a role.
