I'm looking at getting 2 new drives, 10-20TB each to keep the exact same data on (everything I have). But I'm struggling to make sense of how the different brands and models (such as WD colors) actually stack up against one another. The marketing lingo is extremely thick everywhere I look.

Previously I've owned a pair of smaller WD Blacks for the same purpose as they promised good reliability and read/write performance, but they were extremely expensive and seem even more so currently.

Right now I'm looking at two Toshiba MG10 Enterprise 20TB drives as they promise higher speeds than my blacks and much larger storage at a lower price. Is there a catch?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
