Hi, I'm thinking about buying an external HDD.
I wan't to know which is better between this two brands of HDD (Seagate vs Toshiba).
I don't want to buy a Western Digital because the last 2 WD external HDD's I had died 2 years after purchased.
Thanks in advance.

Seagate definitely seems to loose vs toshiba...

Of course it does not mean that much, as some series differ from each other pretty much concerning failure rates. I own a few WD reds and never had a problem...
Your call!

BTW: Very often on external discs, it is the electronics that goes bad, or the hard disc does not work because it got a hit... So sometimes the solution is to think about a better enclosure that holds the drive well internally and is built to withstand limited shocks...
