When i made built my PC i bought a 128gb SSD (mainly for OS,but also got a few games installed) and a 1tb barracuda 7200rpm, but it seems i underestimated my ability to fill out a HDD.

So now I'm looking to buy a big HDD, i don't know atleast 3-4TB or maybe 2x2TB
Would like to ask if someone got any recommendations, my pc runs almost 24/7 play/download games frequently.

I was looking at at Toshiba MD Series Harddisk 4 TB
But also heard a few bad'ish reviews about it and almost whenever i look for 4TB
i'd usually find NAS technology in the specs (I do get that most big sized HDD's are used for NAS)
,but i was wondering if it was gonna have any impact.

Thanks in advance.

Also heard that the WD green's aren't as efficient and would prefer a 7200RPM.

I'm about to buy WD Black WD3003FZEX - Harddrive - 3 TB - internal - 3.5" - SATA 6Gb/s - 7200 rpm - buffer: 64 MB.
It's not the cheapest choice, but seems like the most reliable with a 5y warranty.

Was also really expecting more than suggestion :|
 
I would suggest the Toshiba PH3300U-1I72 over that model (it is a rebranded Hitachi hard drive - I have not had a single Hitachi hard disk crap out yet, some of which are 8+ years old).

Anyway, that disk seems to be quite a bit more reliable from reviews than the other model.

Sadly i already bought the one i mentioned, really hope it's not too much of difference.

What do you think?
