I am planning on buying a 1TB Seagate External Hard Drive(non-SSD), but I am concerned about the life expectancy of the drive. How long do they last? Are they worth buying?

In my and my co-workers experience It is a complete wash. I have personally owned Seagate external's that have died within almost exactly a year and some that are still chugging 4 or 5 years later.

If you are after life expectancy and dependability I would recommend going for an SSD like the samsung 500gb external. Which have been applauded for dependability and have a warranty of 3 years. While there internal 2.5" products like the vNand 500GB 850's have 10 year warranties.
