My advice would be to go for an ICY Box, from Nanopoint, its where we get all ours from. We send out our recovered data in these with Seagate hard drives inside them.

As we are in data recovery, we see literally hundreds of hard drives. From this information, we get to see which are the best hard drives, (the make we see less of in our data recovery lab).

For the last 7 or 8 years, we see less Seagate than any other hard drive, which to me means that Seagate drives fail less than others.

I hope this helps?
