And in regards to HDD durability and performance, which manufacturer to seek? In my mind the one results which pops up is WD Black but are they really the best? Bear in mind I need the best performance drives, not red, green, purple, etc.
All mechanical hard drives are pretty much the same nowadays, so don't waste extra money on a particular model just because it's "high performance", spins at 15000 RPM or whatever. Just focus on avoiding "green" models (the power savings are minimal and don't justify the extra wear on the components) and getting as much storage space as possible.
