Looking to pick up 2-3 external Hard Drives that would be hooked up to notebooks/mini-pcs. They will be storing a variety of media and will be on 24/7/365 and have constant activity, including file erasures using a program such as Eraser or file shredder.

In the past we had fantastic luck with Seagate Backup Plus drives but they are no longer available. The ones we picked up some 8 yrs ago are all still operating but essentially full, and now "old".

I am a bit behind on what is what in external drives and I know some have cheap drives inside that can only be on for limited durations p.a. and are not intended for constant i/o activity.

Has to be available from a seller in America (or Canada).

Appreciate all suggestions. 16tb -24tb size is the goal.
