It's A Digital Disease!

Pretty new to this, so my knowledge is limited. The Seagate 24TB External HDD (STKP24000400) is discounted to $280, which seemed like a good deal, but when looking at reviews it seems pretty mixed. This user had 2 die in a day, but was constantly running it for said day. Other people have pointed out that it may have overheated, and could have survived if it had good ventilation. I've seen some people say to get drives with better WRL, like an Ironwolf and the such. I need a drive that can handle 10-50GB written throughout the day. Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: Thank you for the replies. I plan on buying the Seagate HDD and testing it before the return window ends, the deal is simple too good to just pass on.
