wourk but the second one is fine. The power supply looks a bit cheap.

I quite like the 4TB WD

I previously had the 3TB and now have 2 4TB. Amnd a 2TB for at work.
There's no particualr reason I like them (other than familarity) but they
do have the same plug-in PSU and in theory if one goes wrong I may be able
to swap things about to get it working.

The thing I don;t like about them is the push switch which you have to
hold in for a certain few second so it switches off or standsdown.
I;d prefer a simple toggle or push switch.

I can also pop along the road to get it after work or during lunchtime
rather than have to order it.
