Looking to get an external HDD to transfer large files between the desktop / laptop as well as general backing up. I am looking at the WD My Passport 4TB or Seagate Backup Plus 4TB.
The drives in question:

Typically I lean towards WD, but I've only ever used internal drives. Any reason to consider the Seagate over the WD? Or other particular models I should look at instead of these two? Reliability and durability is most important, followed by speed. Not too sure if I am reading the Seagate's warranty PDF correctly, but it looks like it only has a 90 day warranty compared to WD's 3. But if I am reading that right, it is certainly a reason to consider the WD.
