I wouldn’t use a spinning drive for editing anything, not would I recommend a solution involving only a single drive without redundancy.
The big NAS servers I’ve built for work contain a mix of Toshiba N300 and Seagate Ironwolf NAS drives (always best to mix manufacturers and batches as part of a redundant array in case you end up with multiple failures from a single bad batch). Not had one drive failure in 3 years across 64 drives.
Avoid any drives which use SMR.

Looking for an internal HDD, something in the 8-10TB range, mostly for storing my family photos and videos and editing. So, looking for reliability over pure out and out performance. What's your recommendations?
