I recently purchased a Seagate Expansion from Amazon for ~5.5k, seems pretty good for my needs.

You get around 1.8 TB.

WD/Seagate whichever has the cheapest, get it.

1.8TB is because OS uses 1GB = 1024MB & so on, whereas disk manufacturers use mulitple of 10, so for them 1GB = 1000MB. Not sure why they don't use the power of 2.
