Are the reliable and long lasting?

Definitely not (and I speak from personal experience).

They are cheaper than most of the competition for a good reason - - poor reliability & build-quality.

My recommendation is to buy WD or Hitachi brand.
I've got a mixture of both, all currently in their seventh year.

Hello, do you have any opinion on Toshiba external HDDs?

Same experience with Toshiba (but I only ever bought one) - - it failed after a year. Only bought one though, so it may just have been bad luck.

I already told you which two brands I recommend. End of.
