I built a new PC and also need to replace my 1tb Western Digital Black because I am running out of room on it. I purchased a 2tb Black because I had such good luck with the 1tb, but that was a MISTAKE. Upon first start up and first shutdown, I experienced the same issue so many others experienced...

That being said, I got an RMA from NewEgg and I am now on the hunt for a Data drive.
I have a WD 512gb NVMe drive that will have my OS and programs (Photoshop, Lightroom, AutoCAD...) on it. I need something that has a lot of storage, is fast (for transfering photos to it, loading previews, and read/writing to and from lightroom), and reliable. I cant have a drive that is prone to failure. I do have a NAS unit that I run realtime backups to, just in the case of disc failure, but that is besides the point. I want reliable.
I am currently between:
2tb WD Gold (doesnt seem to have the same issue as the black)
2tb Seagate FireCuda
2tb Seagate BarraCuda Pro
I wanted to go HSGT, however after reading about their acquisition by WD, I am not sure I am comfortable going that route.
I hate Toshiba drives just because I had 3 of them fail on me within a 14 month time frame WHILE in college, so I lost valuable information each and every time. (I wasnt the best with backups back then)
Please suggest what you feel I should look at either based on opinion, experience, studies or whatever knowledge you may have. Thank you for your time and assistance!
