For 2.5" SSD I'd suggest a Samsung Evo or crucial mx500. These will top out at like 4TB afaik.
For 3.5" spinner I'd suggest an enterprise class HDD. Specifically WD Gold or HGST. Look up the most recent backblaze drive failure report for some models known to last a while.
Yep, got a Samsung evo 870 in there, still going strong for like a decade. The HGST spinner I have is also pretty longlived. Weren't they bought out by WD though? I feel like I remember hearing that the quality has declined severely.
Having said that, I do also have a WD .... black? In there that has also lasted. I will check out gold though, and the mx500
Excellent, this is what I was hoping to find again but i couldn't remember the name. I also assumed it would be paywalled after all these years... if I could even get google to deliver the link.
Thanks a heap, you've been extremely helpful!
Seconded on the Crucial drive!
