How can they do that for such a low price? I should have bought one and taken the hard drive out of it.

Invest on some RAID you'll regret it later with the size of those drives. I have Sysnology going on with with RAID 1 with two 8TB Seagate Enterprise disks for all the porn and movie needs. Probably going to upgrade to RAID 6.

In my 10+ some years of using externals on the side, only one has failed ... and it was a Seagate 3TB. I'll probably be avoiding them now. Luckily it was a slow death so I had enough time to get things moved over.
On the flip side I have this huge brick sized 120GB Seagate from ages ago that still works, but I only use it for random stuff I need transferred or something now. I only use a 2TB WD Elements that has been going strong for years now, twice as long as that 3TB Seagate. Otherwise I have a huge tower so I've switched over to mostly internal storage.

Yes I think that overall internal hard drives are VERY reliable.
In the last twenty years I don't think I have had one fail, other than a couple which like an idiot I kept in my car. The ones the seem to give problems are the ones in backup enclosures. But we must still have multiple backups in case of fire, theft, or ransom ware etc. OFFSITE!

Had a few bad Seagates thankfully I was able to put them in Icy Boxes and save them.

I only ever had one external HD die on me, a LaCie 500gb that I had purchased because it was designed to visually complement the Mac Mini I was using back then.
It was a thing of beauty, but I lost a lot of porn when it went South...
