Good quality 2tb SATA hard drives

Does any company currently make good quality two terabyte SATA hard
drives? I have read that both Seagate and Western Digital now have
severe quality problems and that Hitachi and Samsung have been
bought up by Seagate and Western Digital.

Are there any reasonably priced drives that will last several years
and keep my data safe? Thank you in advance for all replies.

After I kick it, he will sometimes play with it for a few
seconds to several minutes. His favorite are the ones that
rattle. He'll play with any ball that makes noise.
