For those of us still on conventional spinning rust for whatever reason, what HDD would you buy and why to be your main drive? Like are there certain value ranges for cost per TB, or notable reliability differences between makers for not a radical amount of money? (assume that things will be backed up but more just avoiding inconvenience, like after seeing STACKS of dead Seagates in the past they arent my first choice and if someone's got something statistically lower in failures for $10-30 more I wont be complaining over that) And avoiding shingled garbage since I heard WD is shoving it down people's throats in the 2-6tb space now without clear labeling if I heard right?
Like Seagate has a horrible rep but I don't want an accidental WD shingled drive, so what to get... (for just generic PC use - basic apps, games, lots of space for your Steam library and so forth)
