Hey Everyone,

I'm shopping for a new HDD, to use it mostly for archiving (Movies, roms, isos, app backups, etc.) so I'm not super concerned about read/write speeds as I'm not planning on using this on a daily basis, just copy everything over, and leave it as it is just adding info from time ot time...

I'm thinking about getting a 6TB or 8TB drive, and i've narrowed it down to either getting a CHEAPER Seagate Barracuda or a slightly more expensive WD Black performance drive...

Any thoughts? pros / cons on each? any other option worth for around the same price (200-250 usd tops)?
