Hi, I'm planning to buy an HDD to use as external backup and I noticed that many users recommend WD Ultrastar DC HC550 or Seagate Exos X18 because they have 5 years warranty but someone told me that some brand puts constraints on these extended warranties for example if the HDD isn't purchased from an official distributor or on some enterprise level HDD.

What about those model of WD and Seagate?

Is the 5 years warranty available for any users and any type of use of the drive?

Thanks
