To answer the real question asked by OP, there isn't an easy way to know which brands are good for external hard drives, because the actual hard drive inside is still likely made by the same four manufacturers - Seagate, WD, Hitachi, Samsung.

You could research the external hard drive model and find out what drive it uses inside, but even then it's not that straightforward because the same model might use drives from different manufacturers inside.
