1/. I can't read Squiggle and have no idea what half those words say.
2/. Those are links to retail sites that are not OCUK, which is not permitted here.

I suspect those are just two of the many reasons why no-one else has helped.
 
A cloud storage firm in the USA writes a quarterly blog about their hard drive failure rates & have done for a fair while now. I think that would give you some idea. Just be aware if a hard drive fails under warranty that there's a good chance you'll get a refurbished model as a replacement.

Rule of thumb for any data you regard as sentimental or important for work, either keep an offline backup or store it in a cloud/backup service. I usually do the former with old hard drives I no longer have in regular use.
 
General storage?
Just use Western Digital Greens, or Seagate Barracudas.

yes i will use it for general storage such as including documents, word ,,, excel ,, powepoint,, music files, movies, series, etc.

so from all these 5 hardisks which is most suitable???
