What is the best hard drive under $70? I want something that won't fail on me or slow down, something that is reliable and fast. My budget is about $70, I'm hoping to purchase from amazon or preferably Jet.com

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

Segate Barrscuda 2TB should do. It's a good drive, 7200rpm. I have it btw.

Well I can get the M001 one for 67.20 with free standard shipping, or I can get the M006 one for Free one-day student account shipping or whatever for $68.72

1TB WD blue drives are my go to for the 50-70 price range. Have two of those in the GF's rig with a 2TB Seagate Firecuda in mine.

I think I'll go with the M006, it's newer and I get one-day shipping so whatever.
