Best Hard drive for $120

[DB1911]

I am looking for a hard drive for my PC. I already have a samsung evo 840 120gb but I need some more space. I need at least a 1TB. I have plenty of sata cables /slots so feel free to combine a few different ones if needed. Preferably WD but if you recommend a different brand, please tell me. Thanks

After a quick glance at PCpartpicker, I would say the Seagate Barracuda 3TB.

You should be able to get a decent 2TB WD Blue for that price if you want to stick with WD, otherwise the Barracuda is a nice drive... the only issue is that there are more reports of failure with it vs other drives (still not that big of a chance though), I haven't experienced any issues with Seagate drives but it's been a long time since I've bought one so I can't go off of that.

The Barracuda will be the faster and cheaper solution.

EDIT: can't seem to find a 2TB blue, but you can get 1TB blues for about 53 dollars.

If you don't want to buy either brand, this is the route I would (I would actually get this over both of the other options in this price range).
