Need help choosing external hard drives

Hello,

I finally accepted that there is currently no 100% reliable external hard drive, so I am preparing to purchase two 2TB external hard drives (or 2 2TB SSDs, or one of each), so I can clear some space from my PC and have some peace of mind knowing it's highly unlikely both external hard drives will fail.

I have looked at online reviews, articles, and videos, and have come to no conclusion about which hard drives would be the best. I am seeking experienced advice concerning 2TB external hard drives from WD, Seagate, Toshiba, or any other brand. Also, I am interested if SSDs are worth spending the extra money.

I don't care about speed, and I probably won't be carrying these external hard drives around much, just from one end of the house to another, occasionally, so they don't need to be something I can throw in a bag, although that would be a bonus. I really only care that they do not fail anytime soon. Good warranties and good customer service are a plus.

Thank you for your help!
