It's A Digital Disease!

Noticed that these drives tend to be the ones that easily have up to 24tb or so. I need a large HDD of around 20-24tb to hold my music and video software, VSTs, samples, video footage and assets, etc. Right now my case is maxed out with HDDs and I've had two consumer Seagate drives fail within recent years. I am willing to spend the ~$500 for one drive of high capacity if there is no downside.

Someone recommended WD Purple, saying that surveillance drives hold up to constant usage, but someone else mentioned that they have a slightly lower read speed. What would you choose for something if high capacity and longevity that is going to hold up to usage and not just general storage?
