Best External 1TB Option

Ok so I am in the market for an external 1TB for backup of my numerous hard drives. Which do you think will have the reliabilty overtime and the least likely to fail?

I am akin to Seagate I like there drives and never had any problems. I had a WD drive fail on me once...but I did drop it.

Any other brands for long term reliability?

Thanks
 
Whichever has the longer warranty (which will likely be a Seagate). However, since external drives may be even more likely to fail than internal drives because of heat/power issues, I'd certainly get two drives and alternate my backups between them. Even better, roll your own RAID 1 or RAID5 network-attached-storage system under Linux.
