If you browse Backblaze statistics you will find that all brands are reliable nowadays. At least if you go for the datacentre brands (such as Seagate Exos).
Regarding NAS I historically enjoyed Synology but they’re currently aiming to start forcing you to pay 2x the normal amount to use their own branded drives.
Personally I built a Debian m-itx server for my fileserver (and other server) needs.
