Best 4TB HDD 2016

I'm about to buy a HDD for mass storage and some larger games that I only play once in a blue moon. I've had the WD Black 4TB on my list, but I'm not up to date on the best storage options of 2016. 

 

Is this a good choice or is their a better alternative? 

 

*Price ~$300aud. $50 more or less is fine. Running with 2 SSDs. 

Corsair Air 540 - ASUS Maximus VIII Hero Z170 - Corsair HX850i - Intel i7 6700K - Corsair H100i Pro - Gigabyte RX 5700 XT 8GB - 32GB Kingston HyperX Fury DDR4 2400 - Samsung 860 QVO 1TB - Samsung 850 500GB - WD Black 4TB

You would be looking at a WD Black for speed, and a WD Blue for normal usage. The WD Black is fine, but since you are buying in such a large capacity and for stuff that like you said - "games that I only play once in a blue moon", the WD Blue would be a better choice for you.
