My current 2tb sata drive is failing and I am looking to transfer my data to a new drive. Will be using it as my main boot drive as my motherboard only has one nvme slot.
Use case, data archiving, light to medium gaming and basic windows operations.

Have compiled the list of drives available in my market (australia). Which one would I be better of picking.
Have used chatgpt to tabulate the info, so a few things might be inaccurate.
