It does not really matter. But I highly recommend a Western Digital Blue hard drive. They tend to be more reliable and has a less fail rate than Seagate drives.

This is the first time i see those hdds to be honest i just want to see how are they

That will work, buts it's a 2.5" drive. You can get a much cheaper 3.5" drive assuming your case is compatible with them.

That's a laptop/2.5" HDD. Which will still work in your system but just thought that was worth mentioning.

 

I second @Telebubbies's recommendation of a WD Blue, they're cheap, realiable, and good.

It all started with a lawsuit on Seagate with their 2TB hard drives having a high fail rate. That is all I know. Lol

If it is a desktop case, then it always has a 3.5" bay. At times there are 2.5"

Yes, but it gone back and fourth for years. There have been seagstes that have a higher than average failure rate and western digital a that have had a higher than average failure rate. There is no reason to discredit an entire company because of one bad line of drives.  Both companies release excellent drives and one isn't better than the other.

Wow. Seagate actually stepped up their game. I guess I was wrong..
