Recommended Storage Drive?

Hey all, so I am trying to find a solid performer for a storage drive... I originally went with a 6tb WD Black and returned two of them because of head parking issues and extreme heat... Looked up quite a lot of issues for these drives, and it basically killed my confidence in them... So, what would any of you recommend as a good alternative... I would prefer a 7200 rpm, larger cache, quiet, but most importantly, reliable..

    hgst has the reputation of making the best drives. also, the enterprise models from all mfg's are generally more reliable.
