Just be sure you always have a backup of your data and you'll be fine. It also depends how much you're willing to spend, because the Crucial P1 and the WD Blue are budget parts.

Here you go, Seagate and Western Digital are the best brands for hard drives. But like I said never trust any storage device.

You have a better warranty on them, so usually they should be more reliable. Worst case if they fail, at least you known you'll have good customer support from the vendors.
