Hard disks

Which hard drive is more reliable?

Greetings.
We need an inexpensive reliable disk for 1TB, the budget is not more than 5000 rubles. The main requirement is to survive at least 4 years. Preferably 7200rpm and sata3 (do not offer ssd). It will be systemic.
Judging by Yandex.Market, there is a choice of:
1) Seagate ST1000DM003 It's embarrassing that the reviews on the 3TB version are entirely negative, almost everything about dead disks. Also the question is, isn't it too unreliable to use 1 pancake per disk?
2) Western Digital WD10EZEX The reviews say that there is strong noise and vibration. In principle, it will be placed in a not the quietest desktop, so this is not critical.
3) HGST HTE721010A9E630This is a server hdd, I assume that the reliability will be greater. Another of the pluses is the size of 2.5", in the future it is possible to stick it into a laptop. However, the buffer size is 2 times smaller than the first two. Also, the price is one and a half times higher.
ps the city of Yekaterinburg, if anything.

It doesn't matter, you'll still die.
Make backups, and take the drive for which the warranty is given longer - at least they will replace it with a new one for free. Just don't pay too much for the warranty, if the disc has a +1 year warranty and costs twice as much, it's not worth it.

I don’t know who deceived you, the Travelstar line is for laptops, for more serious Ultrastar applications,
somewhere I saw data from a data center in which home-series drives are used, the highest level of marriage is from Seagate, the lowest is from Hitachi (current HGST).

From personal experience: WD's line of hard drives with increased fault tolerance are red (for nas) and yellow (enterprise storage). The rest are dying.

Their reliability depends on the "phase of the moon", take any, there is no difference.
I have Seagate bought in 2006, still lives

in the context of one disk, there is no question of any reliability, 50 to 50 will die or not die.
