Do you want a recommendation from me?
Idk, why you’re repeating yourself. If you have the option to choose between two products and you know from experience that one of them is useless earlier than the other, then it would be a waste of money to buy the inferior product as you would have to replace it sooner and therefore loose more money.

My recommendation is none of them last forever. Get what is available, decent price and warranty, replace when needed. Drives are consumable.

Yes, if you have money to burn, sure. I’ll go with the financially better approach.

I specifically said to go off price, just have a backup because they will fail.

Sure, they will. But some sooner than others. Therefore, you can save money by buying the more reliable alternative.
