I got a 4 TB external HDD that I only keep plugged when backing up. I'm looking for extra SATA storage as my main one is often running out. I don't intend on installing any program on the extra storage (so all on main). I'm open to used storage as long as a robust test can be performed when receiving it and if it's not satisfactory that it can be returned for cheap. I was looking at storage listing on Amazon.ca & Newegg.ca and saw a lot of 5400 RPM listed as long as a well as a wide variety of cache size, I also saw some entries that brought to mind that people said are prone to failure; I've tried finding 10K or 15K SATA HDD at a relatively cheap price in vain.
I'm wondering what would be amongst the best bang-for-the-buck for secondary storage; if you could assist with that.
Thank you kindly
