Due to modern games ballooning to almost 50gb each now due to both next gen consoles using blu ray discs, suddenly 1tb doesn't seem like much at all....and my 1tb is almost gone, and 2tb soon to be in the same spot. The Seagate is the cheapest 4tb hdd I've seen, and actually gotten decent reviews. Apparently it's a new model series compared to the problematic 2tb and 3tb variety.
Many people online seem to talk bad on Seagate, but my 1tb Seagate was my OS drive for ~8 months and game drive the entire time I had my pc since 2012 and is where I put the download folder instead of having it on my ssd and it's been fine....ironically my bro's 2tb WD Black hdd died, despite being MUCH better regarded online and obviously much more expensive. So I'm willing to give Seagate another shot since mine has been fine.
It would basically just be for peace of mine to throw games on for several years, 4tb should be plenty for awhile. I wouldn't mind the slightly slower load time since it's 5900rpm compared to 7200rpm, but apparently the high density per platter doesn't make the speed difference matter much in real world usage.
