My friend's 4tb steam library is full and he plans to upgrade his system soon. 

But for now he's planning to get a 6tb hdd and copy the old hdd since it's 5yrs old already. 

Should he get an external hdd or another western digital black 6tb. 

Please advice

Internal would be better, he might be able to have both the drives in the system together. Check if he can buy more because the price difference between 10TB and 6 TB is not much.

I will recommend an NHu12s (or an NHd15 (maybe)) for your PC build. Quote or @ me @Prodigy_Smit for me to see your replies.
