HDD for steam bench

[G00fySmiley]

Been out of the HDD game for a while so not sure on latest brands/tech beyond "look at speed cache and drive size"

 

Looking to create a 4-8 Tb hard drive "bench" to transfer steam games not in use to and then put them back on my 2Tb SSD if I want to revisit or resume them to save on time of downloading it again. 

 

currently leaning towards a 8tb WD gold at $267 but am open to suggestions/reasoning to buy a different one and/or avoid the wd gold or get another drive. I can probably still pull this off at 4tb so if its significantly cheaper I might be open there IE 4tb bench and maybe throw in another 2tb ssd as a kind of middle ground to the 2 tb nvme main drive for games i sometimes play but not often or park them there before deciding to archive them in the spinning rust. 

 

I also liek the idea of the 4tb toshiba x300 for $109 for the idea of that plus a 2tb ssd... but i know nothing about toshiba drives.
