Okay, here is a suggestion. Chose mainly based upon mechanical failure rate and speed. A wrong bit here or there is not going to be a big issue for you. The hybrid drive will help if you have some files which you are constantly accessing on the drive. Links below to some info.

Hey! Thank you for promptly responding and sorry for my late response, yes, I do photography, videos and graphic design, I was thinking about wd black performance, I dont Know what to say about speed vs data reliability vs mechanical failure rate. I think I will need data reliability right?
