Hello folks,

I need a large capacity internal storage device, mainly for my large archive of videos and photos. Looking at a minimum of 4TB of storage. Will be installing it in my Gigabyte B550 AORUS PRO mobo.

Main factor is definitely reliability.

after using various brands over too many years, imho reliability is not a considered factor in hdd manufacturing nowadays. (saying this after losing / facing malfunction in almost every brand)

It sounds crazy but instead of buying physical hdds consider cloud storage. Google maybe.

Whatever you buy, stay away from WD external HDDs of 8TB & above size models.
