If you have a 240gb SSD and want a drive for running backups to and maybe a few large files/games on it but aren't a heavy user, $25 is as cheap as you can get. If you pay $70 and get a 4TB drive... Well you just paid $70 and if you're a light user as described, you just paid $70 and aren't getting really any advantage over the 1TB if you don't use the space.

Edit: What type of problems are they having with this drive? I've bought 3 in the past and they have been solid.

It's not about the price per TB, it's about the price.

The 1TB and 2TB models couldn't be more different. One uses SMR and CMR. The good drive is the 1TB blue. The 2TB is horrible slow. I've been using both for years and have had half a dozen of the WD blue 1TB in the last few years and friends of mine have had them. They're solid, never have issues with them. But the 2TB SMR drive is horrible.
This 1TB would be fine for storing back up images, ISO, etc.
I have a 1TB WD Black (5+years old) I use to drop my game ISO's onto, install/play games from a 512GB M.2, OS on a 240GB SSD
Respectable deal. No reason to down vote.

Statistics historically have shown 3tb has been the most problematic of smaller platter drives. I'm not sure if anyone ever figured out why three terabyte was a poor performing size. Back Blaze no longer uses anything smaller than 4tb, so you have to look at previous years for their statistics.
But it boils down to your intended use. If you want to store something for long periods of time and have a backup. A 1 TB HDD is about as reliable as you can find. Under those conditions speed doesn't really matter and purchasing two gives you twice the opportunity to not lose the data.
HGST, Toshiba, Hitachi I have almost always had the best statistics on failures. Western Digital usually falls between them and Seagate. Poor Seagate, poor poor Seagate. Although I fairly recently had the opportunity to take advantage of their 5-year warranty. With minimal issues, they gave me a new (new to me aka refurb) hybrid drive for my PS4.
