Show 0 brand loyalty, buy what's proven to be stable (for your use case)

There are a few very large hosting providers that publish their drive failure rates publicly for the benefit of the community.

I use such reports when I go to purchase disks and I've never had a problem since.

BackBlaze offers them but I'm sure many others are out there as well.
