Two different perspectives:
I had no issue with a WD SN750 NVMe drive replacement. Possibly the easiest RMA I've ever done.

NEVER EVER BUY WD / SANDISK. THEY DO NOT HONOR WARRANTY. THEY WILL JUST TAKE UR DRIVE AND NEVER SEND YOU REPLACEMENT, AND ALSO REFUSE TO SEND BACK THE ORIGINAL DRIVE.

One, know that businesses limit their liability. This limitation applies to goods and services. If you buy a hard drive that fails, then the manufacturer at most will replace the hard drive; the manufacturer is not responsible for your data that was on the hard drive. If you want someone besides yourself to be responsible for the data, then purchase a drive with a provision for data recovery.
(Limitations of liability are stated in the fine print that most people never read. Read the fine print of goods and services that interest you; if you don't want to read the fine print every time, then at least read entirely through fine print once in a while.)
Two, be proactive about your own data. Familiarize yourself with backup best practices, such as the 3-2-1 rule, actually testing your backups, and so on. I'm unsure whether you had only one copy of the data, but that's what it sounds like after reading your BBB post. I have misgivings about Western Digital, but I don't think they did anything wrong in your case.

citing BBB is a straw man argument, it is basically a forum to lodge a complaint so the ratings are always ridiculously skewed
There is no better alternative

Model number from WD:
WD60EFAX
WD's lines up with the SMR version of the disk, where as the Amazon version is the CMR. If I've done my research properly, CMR is superior due to the faster write speeds.
