Get one large enough that you can backup the other drives also. By default it will exclude externals so just remove them from the list. Once you decide on the size, choose based on price, speed won’t really matter within reason.

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

IMO you should care more about availability and architecture than what individual drives you want to buy. One backup is no backups.
