Which hard drive should I should get?

Running out of space on my hdd's so I'm going to need a larger size. Here is the two I'm looking at

Toshiba X300 5TB

+5tb

+cheap $119.99 with price code

- 2 year warranty

Seagate BarraCuda Pro 4tb

+comes with assassins creed origins

+5 year warranty

-4tb

-costs more

Get the Toshiba drive, I've had bad luck with Seagate drives in general.

I have 5 Toshiba drives so far, 2x3tb drives, and 3x5tb(same x300 drive you mentioned) drives. All have been on for 24/7 with around 10,000 hours. I've had 0 failures.

I bought 4-5 3tb seagate drives and every single one of those failed. I know their 3tb line is bad, but I don't have any confidence in any of their drives after that.

Seagate drives are fine as long as you stay away from the 3tb drives. Also seagate drives failure rates have fell dramatically since 2015. They are inline with other brands typical failure rates nowadays. the lawsuit straighten them up on quality. Going from 30 some percent down to under 4 percent average. I would have no problem going with the seagate drive, all their drives I've used last at least 5 years, have some that are going on 10 years of use.

@TheShadowLord07: I think it's up to you to do the math, the Seagate is more popular option, less storage (1Tb isn't the end of the world IMO), costs more for 3 years of more warranty.

specify the 3tb drives or any hard drive from 3tb and under?

@TheShadowLord07:

The seagate 3tb drives with the model number ST3000DM001 or the ones that use three platters instead of 4 or 5.

Well if you want AC origins then you are paying for it with the Seagate. They are about the same HDD.

Get the FireCuda not just the Baracuda- it has a 5 year warranty and it will be noticeably faster than the Toshiba since its a SSHD hybrid drive. I currently have a 2TB FireCuda drive in my PS4 Pro and it works great!
