Hi Gina
When looking at drives make sure you look at what purpose they serve you have drives that like used in store or video surveillance like the Western Digital 4TB WD Purple Surveillance Internal Hard Drive these drives would not be good for long term storage so make sure you look at specs and what the drive is being marketed for. I personally only use Seagate HHD have been using them for more than 20 years after they bought out Maxtor HHD. I am sure each person will have their favorite brand Western Digital is a decent brand but I have always run into issues with them. Stay away from refurbished reconditioned HHD they will never last as long a new drives and tend to have very limited warranties
