I plan to use with optiplex 3060 and need drive for long term seed which means continuous read though the read would be only for few kb
Earlier I had seagate external drive shucked but they died after using for 1 year 24*7

Get an enterprise class hdd, externals aren’t meant to be ran 24/7. Any brand.
Look for enterprise or NAS grade drives. Really no matter which brand, just look for the best $/TB ratio.
I need to look ₹ / TB
Whatever, just use instead of $ your local currency…
How storage do you need?
I’d think any NAS or Surveillance drive would be fine, but SSDs are the way to go for reads
Seeding will wear out any HDD quickly. Use a SSD instead.
Sequential access is where HDDs shine.
Random access is where SSDs shine.
Do would surveliance hdd perform better?
Would be worse.
No those would be worse, they are designed to sequentially write and almost never read.
