I've owned numerous WD and Seagate drives over the years. Never had a single failure on any of them.

I doubt it's even possible for the average user to even be able to determine the difference in reliability between any top hard drive manufacturer.

What it really comes down to is how much capacity you want, what performance you want, how much noise the drive makes and if you want one that's low power. After that, don't worry about reliability.
