European hard drive? (piefed.social)

I recently cancelled my Dropbox subscription, and will now be running local backups instead. For that purpose I need an external hard drive.

It seems most companies (Western Digital, Kingston, Seagate) are American, with Japanese Toshiba occasionally showing up in my search results.

Does anyone know of/have any experience with European storage manufacturers? If not I guess Toshiba will have to do. :)

I came to suggest HGST but apparently I've been living under a rock, it's been sold to WD over a decade ago. And yes, I know Hitachi is not European. Brand name is still around and the drives seem to be pretty decent, but they (too) are owned by US company and manufactured in China/Thailand.
