What type of 4TB drive should I get for movies and music?

TYTSoldier · Apr 9, 2014

Is a WD Green good enough or would I be better off with a red or black? I see that a 3TB black is about $30 more than a 4TB WD green (and they're about the same price if I get a used 3TB black), but I'm not sure which I should get.

Depends on usage... How do you use your system? I just got the AV 4TB's from WD because I need an always on HDD for a database. they are designed around a 24/7 environment.

What is your need? NAS WD "Red" always on the AV that I got http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236634

Seagate Barracuda's are usually cheaper and faster and just as reliable.

I don't really need a 24/7 environment since I don't leave my computer on when I'm gone unless I'm downloading something, which is just occasionally.

I was looking at Seagates, but there were so many negative reviews at least for the 3TB model. Is the 4 supposed to be more reliable?
