The WDC 4TB WD4NPURX I used for Windows Media Center since 2016 has a warning about pending sectors so I'll need to replace it. I keep running out of space so I'm looking to replace it with a WDC 6TB drive. My question is, which type of WDC drive works best with Windows 7 WMC with 7 tuners (HDHomeRun PRIME plus 2 HDHR Dual tuners for DTv) that might be recording 3-6 programs at a time. My system usually runs between 10-16 hours per day. Sometimes I'm recording programs from 6am to 10am, then 5pm to 11pm or midnight. I prefer to stick with Western Digital and I am looking for recommendations.

Thanks,
Mark
