I am thinking of getting an external HDD for storage as my laptop cannot store all the games I have. I am going to use the drive not as a backup per se but rather as a regular drive (but I will only connect it to the computer when I am going to be playing the game on it). I found 2 drives that are of affordable price on Amazon:
Toshiba 1 TB USB 3.0 Canvio ($105)
Seagate Expansion 2 TB ($128)
Which one is more reliable (last longer) and appropriate for the type of use I intend for it? Should I skip this endeavor and buy an internal HDD then get an enclosure for it instead?
(PS: I do have a docking station but it is currently occupied with another such HDD and that HDD is always on as all the files on there are constantly read and written to; so if I am going to get another internal HDD I will need an enclosure.)
