I am looking to buy an internal HDD, and will buy convertor to convert it into external and use it to store my lectures/ study materials/ pictures etc. These are my questions:

Seagate/ WD or toshiba?
Should I go for 2.5 inch (laptop onces) or the fatter desktop ones? The fatter onces need converters with adaptors whose price is almost 75% od the used HDD itself in my country. No issues though, need a reliable long running HDD.

if I go for 2.5inch laptop ones, I have the converter already at home.

So friends, which ones should I go for? Please help me out.
