Question about WD My Passport

We only offer the blue version:
WD My Passport Ultra (5 TB)

I am a physicist. My requirements for disc storage are that (1) it is 100% reliable, (2) it is sufficiently large, and (3) transfer rates are as fast as possible. In that order. If the disk is painted green with pink stripes I would never notice.

An important point is that I have four WD disks, and one of them has failed. There have also been reports about problems with WD SSD units. I have bought a replacement from Seagate so as to have backup disks from several suppliers.
