Need help: HDD Choice

[JacksGT]

Hi everyone,

 

I'm currently looking for a new HDD, because my old one is getting rather loud and small.

I do already own a SSD (using it as my boot device).

 

The HDD will be used to store videos, music, pictures, large games, downloads etc.

Weekly writes probably will be around 5 GB, not much more than that.

 

I have two questions:

1. Which HDD series by which manufacturer should I choose? (WD Blue / Red / Green; Seagate ... )

2. 2TB are pretty liable. How about 3 / 4 TB drives? Does anyone have personal experiences?

 

Looking for recommendations! :-)
