in all seriousness, look at used HGST (western digital) drives many times you can find good deals on drives that where hotspares most of their life at almost 1/2 msrp. if you need new drives stay with the enterprise variants.
I have not heard good things about recent seagate consumer drives.
WD/HGST gold drives have been rock solid at work. (wd purchased HGST and the ‘helium’ line up is almost all just rebranded HGST.)
also, don’t count out toshiba drives. they are a ‘smaller’ company in the us/europe but they make decent drives in my experience.
