So I'm about to burst out of my current 2TB HDD for all of my media storage.
I am looking to upgrade to a 8TB HDD to store all of my various media on.
Which one do you guys suggest?
I Found this Seagate for $150:

But then this 8TB Seagate that looks identical is $300:
https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16822179270
I can't seem to tell why the one is double in price than the first one?
Also I found these other two, but they're also around the $300 mark:
WD Red Pro: https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16822234348
WD Purple: https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16822234347
What's the difference between the Red & the Purple series?
Would I be ok with the $150 8TB for my media storage, or do I need to look at these higher-priced options?
Thanks!
