Looking to get a new HDD for data storage. This will be primarily for backups, meaning I won't be accessing the data much. I will need a large amount of space, 3-4TB. Leaning towards 4TB for longevity. What is the best model to buy for this task as of now? I have been weary of Seagate HDDs, although price wise they're much cheaper than WD and also run at 7200 RPM whereas the Green drives run at 5200. Any particular model I should look for or avoid?
I am trying to replace a 750GB and 1TB drive with a single new drive, but I may consider replacing the 1TB with a 2TB drive to save money, but then I'd still have two extra HDDs sitting in my PC. And I'd run out of space sooner. Currently running two SSDs and three HDDs so I am trying to reduce the number of drives in total.
