Seagate barracuda (ST8000DMZ04) vs Seagate iron wolf (ST6000VNZ06) same price

Hi, I have a video editing setup.
I have an SSD where Camtasia is installed and an HDD where I store the videos.
I already have two 2TB Barracuda HDDs and one 4TB Barracuda.
I bought a new 8TB barracuda, but then I read reviews saying they aren't very good.
My other drives are about 6 years old and haven't had a single problem so far.
For the same price, I can buy an IronWolf with less capacity.
What I'm most interested in is reliability, not speed. Is there a big difference in reliability between the Barracuda and the IronWolf? Thanks
