Avoid Seagate is good advice. There was that whole Backblaze analysis that got a bunch of people worked up on hard drive reliability http://blog.backblaze.com/2014/01/21/what-hard-drive-should-i-buy/ If you are willing to pay for reliability Hitachi seems like the way to go. If they fail they do it early in their life span, which seems like a huge bonus to me. Replacing data that is only a few months old is way easier than replacing it a few years down the line.
