Never use Seagate. Friends don't let friends use Seagate. They go bad
too often and too soon. Most of my external drives are Western Digital.

You didn't mention whether this is a laptop or desktop, but if it's a
desktop you might want to use an internal 7200 RPM drive. I typically
use an SSD or NVMe drive for the root partition, and a quality Western
Digital (I used WD Red last time) 7200 RPM drive for /home and other
data-centric partitions. My setup boots fast, runs programs at
lightning speed, and yet I have plenty of room on the WD Red to put my
data files.
