this is going to be highly opinion based but i will explain
i would not choose western digital at all; this is rooted back 20 years when every wd i bought died prematurely due to manufacturer defects
i cannot say this is still the case because i have not purchased wd in said 20 years
since that time i have been using seagate and outside of a raid failure i have not lost a drive (physical drive ok / raid broken); at the same time i never keep drives beyond 5 years so this could attribute to my success
based on my experience i would highly recommend seagate exos; as you can see this is completely opinion
