There used to be HGST drives which people thought were the most reliable ones. But now WD bought them and stoped making consumer models.The only chance getting the most reliable drives will be choosing Enterprise drives like Seagate Exos or WD HGST, Ultrastar.These drives will be much louder, but if you have a dedicated location for them, then noise might not be an issue.These drives are made for very harsh environments like heavy reading/writing operation and vibration.
