I recommend buying these External hard drive!
These Seagate 12TB external hard drive are excellent. They are equal to the WD that according to crystaldiskinfo it is 5400 revolutions. I currently have more than 5 disks running and they reach a write speed of about 170MB / s and a read speed of approx. 200 mb / s. I recommend buying these External hard drive!

good with some issues in Linux
The Seagate Expansion can often be had for a nice price. I deducted a star because Seagate limits functionality in Linux with respect to reading temperature and sleep functions. (WD HDDs seem to not have this issue.) I notice that this HDD sometimes goes to sleep in Linux but I need to keep it awake at all times for Chia plots. The solution I found was to write a small file every 5 minutes or so with a crontab job.

Best warranty.
Best support I have ever gotten. No hassle on returns or replacement. Especially since it’s free. Hope they don’t change the terms.

Awesome External Drive
Using this as a backup drive, it's been powered on for three years now and it's been working great.
