Doesn't Staples know that Seagate is a horrible brand?

Years ago when I had my 486 PC, the hard drive was Seagate. I remember that after some time, I would have to tap the tower to get it to boot, found out my 30mb Seagate hard drive was failing. It wasn't only but a couple of years old!!

I hate Seagate hard drives. I've always used Maxtor or Western digital. I'll never use Seagate. But the problem is, Staples only sells Seagate external hard drives. But Staples is about a 23 minute drive from me. Best buy is 35 minutes in a whole different city.

I'd recommend WD Blue, they're generally pretty reliable. Not especially the fastest though.

@Teirdalin I typically go with the WD 7200 RPM drives. I don't do SSD, and after seeing a friends SSD literally die on them only after like 2 years, I'll stick with the 7200 RPM drives. They've always been reliable for me.
