I believe in good luck. Harder that I work ,luckier i get.
I checked both links, but the situation is unclear.
Besides it's .DE (and Deutsch isn't my strong suit), the reviews are piled up — for WD they're mostly for 2.5" drives, for Seagate I found a 3.5" review, but it was for a 18 TB model.
If you know the exact models of the external drives above, can you find out (and post here) the models of the internal drives used in those enclosures?
Or post the external models at least.
These days hard drives vary considerably, you're right to ask before buying.
☰ Probably the best Black Friday storage offers — AMD EPYC VDSes with NVMe slices (ref) from 250GB to 4TB and 500GB–10TB SAN disk. ／ Big HDD storage VPSes (ref) from $2.42/month per TB. ／ Storage dedis and hybrid VPS (SSD + HDD) are there as well.
Honestly, they are both so similar in every aspect, it doesn't really matter.
I personally would get the Seagate drive, but that is purely based on the fact I don't like the glossy, rounded look of the WD drive.
I generally prefers WD because Seagate fail rate is high for me, but YMMV
食之无味 弃之可惜 - Too arduous to relish, too wasteful to discard.
WD on balance, but I'd take whatever is on sale.
Realistically with single drive you need a sound backup strategy either way.
WD has better support and service if it ever comes to that.
I'd go with WD, bought a brand new Seagate Skyhawk, and it failed on me after 3 months ish, and I replaced it with a old, used WD Green that is from 2011, and it works fine, and I've had it for years now.
Same and I have never had a problem RMAing a WD. Seagate has given me the run around more than once.

It is crap. Unreliable. Especially when you need to copy all the data from the drive.
What I did and would recommend is get an external drive bay and a Seagate Ironwolf Pro HDD of the needed size (the links are affiliate).

Filling a considerable portion of the drive with data (especially if there's some fragmented data already) could be not much better.
Yes, this one is pretty good.
Another good option is an offensively white WD (not Red, Purple, etc.), which is actually HGST (Hitachi).
