[SOLVED] Reliable and affordable HDD to replace my current one

[Gummy99]

I've had a PC which uses an SSD for Windows and important programs, and a 2TB Seagate Firecuda which I divided into 2 partitions, for games and for work/projects.

After 7 months, my Firecuda is starting to die already, bad sectors popping up and stuff on my games folder being wiped out or corrupted after restarts (RIP RDR2 download). Thankfully, my work partition is fine, but I want to afford a new one before something happens to that one, too.

Any recommendations? I'll use it to store games and work/project stuff. I've been looking at replacing it with a WD Black but I'm not completely sure, any suggestions?

At 7 months, that is still under warranty.

Yes, but am I able to change the model or will it just be replaced by another Firecuda?

They'll almost certainly give you another FireCuda.

That's what I don't want. I've been advised against using the Firecuda

WD Black or Blue
Seagate Barracuda

But get the replacement FireCuda anyway.

I mean, a replacement would be okay, that is for holding data on temporarily until I can buy a newer, or perhaps a bigger one.
