I have choose 2 drive but don't know which of these should i buy?

The first

I was planning to buy this drive but i saw another drive that may be good But i dont know if other drive brand was good for me

The Second

It has some plan bundle with this drive 

And included hard drive recovery plan with it

The WD is costing $78.51

And Seagate is costing $76.25

They're pretty much all the same as far as speed and durability. Hard Drives have been around for too long. @xD Power Hole Stick

Wrong,Seagate has much higher failure rate,especially the consumer grade drives,

Can you explain little In-depth about Seagate 

As losing data 

Send it the recovery centre to recover data

Does the recovery service is free for the drives that have recovery plan

[kdawwgg1221]

Honestly, to give it to you straight, the Rescue plan through seagate is usually around two years but you can pay for more. There are mixed reviews about the process and whether they can recover the data or not. Ive never had to do any of this and I have had this drive for over year (used for a little over a year before me. It was a friends drive.) Do your own research and make an educated claim.  @xD Power Hole Stick

I would recommend to avoid Seagate,

I recommend Western Digital and Toshiba.

Thanks 

I did research about the recovery plan. I could not find enough evidence about this topic.

On your opinion what HDD should I buy?

On Seagate's website it does give a pretty decent explanation on what it covers and how long. Like I said, the process is claimed to be extremely long and painful but it did seem to work. This @Vishera guy seems pretty educated and has moved me to research other drives for when the time comes to replace my current drive. WD is great! give them a go! I just don't take the Hard Drive market too seriously as most drives are fairly close. @xD Power Hole Stick
