Known Toshiba drives to fail after 6 months, personally I'd stick to WD or Samsung.

Yep, my last two brand new Toshiba hd's failed on warranty expiry. Wasn't impressed tbh.

Samsung were acquired by Seagate a few years ago so good luck with that! Seagate doesnt have a great reputation for it's drives. I have some 7 year old Samsung drives still going strong. Not had any issue with Toshiba, but mine are only 2 years old.

Cold from me - ebuyer will always let you down if things go wrong
I bought one 3tb Toshiba drive years ago for less and directly from eBuyer, stuck it in a machine for someone along with a brand new SSD as a primary drive.
The person literally never wrote anything to the secondary 3tb Toshiba ever, it was merely powered on and off each time the system was used.
The day I went to do a reinstall for them and temporarily transfer their SSD data across to the 3tb it literally died.
That was just out of warranty too.

Bough my Toshiba 3TB DT01ACA300 3 years ago (Jan 2014) from Ebuyer for 78.99. Works without any problem, and it's not surprising- statistics (see Bargainmad post) show Toshiba are quite good, more reliable than WD or Seagate.

Always thought Toshiba was among the good manufacturers when it comes to hard drives. Im on 4tb 7200 toshiba drive and its still going strong after 2 years. Its a loud drive but its fast.

HGST for the reliability win

Thought Hitachi were pretty decent too, but also echo the HGST drives scoring well for reliability
