Are there significant differences between WD Elements and My Passport? I need to back up about 4-5TB. I’ve heard these are the most reliable and cost-effective external HDDs, lasting for years. Are there differences in reliability? I’ve noticed price gaps. Are there other models from other brands worth considering? Are SSDs significantly more reliable than HDDs? If so, are there specific SSD models you’d recommend?

Thanks in advance.
