It’s not a matter of preferring seagate, it is what the Scanner will work with, it only functions with a few models.
The Seagate 8TB Skyhawk, Ironwolf and Ironwolf Pro all work, as do the 10TB models of those.

I’ve had seagate, toshiba, Western Digital and Hitachi all fail with various models over the years, it seems more model specific than manufacturer specific when it comes to failures.
