Which 20tb drive

I need to order a new drive and am looking for a 20tb+ to use for Plex media. Which ones have good reputations?

External hard drive selection

I’m a data hoarder but I live on a boat so that means a couple of things. 1) space is at a premium and 2) power is 12v and at a premium.

I’ve currently got 20tb on several 2.5 external drives and have been running everything connected to a NUC for the last 3 years without a problem.

I’m started to have one of the drives drop out every few days and it requires a unplug/plug to get it back.

I’m starting to be a bit concerned about the heat as well.

I would really like to buy a large drive and install it in a high quality external enclosure to keep things cool.

I’m looking for some advice on which drive is a good choice for this and what is a high quality enclosure?

I’ll need to double up what I order (backup) since we spend most of our time in very remote locations and I’ve got a couple weeks to get these ordered before we lose an address.
