Best 2TB HDD?

Jameschaplin zero · 25-09-2015 2:04pm #1

Hey can anyone help me here, I would like to get a 2TB HDD from Mindfactory but there are a lot of options and conflicting opinions. I'll mainly be using it for storing films and TV shows, with the OS and games going on a 250GB SSD. Does 7200/5400/intellipower RPM matter in that regard and should I avoid Seagate drives? I'm looking to spend between €70 and €90. Thanks.

Wont make a huge difference as its storage, I'd say a 7200 is good enough.

Western Digital Reds are good quality, WD Blues are fine too.

I've never had a complaint about Seagates

I'm thinking of going with this Seagate one:

Should be fine, if you're only ordering a HDD it could be cheaper for dabs or amazon

Yeah, I think I'll chance it. Although if it is DOA then it's all your fault and I was tricked.
