Reliable HDD with a reasonable life span

[Decimus]

Hi all, I'm looking for any suggestions for a HDD that runs at 7200 RPM and has about 3TB storage. Was hoping for something with a reasonable life which would run in my custom PC as a storage for my games. My price range is £150 max. Thanks

Probably WD red.

I've had WD Black for three years now, didn't fail once. I also have good experiences with Seagate HDDs, so, WD or Seagate should work.

WD Black 3TB seems to be at discount at Amazon uk just under 150£. And also has a 5 year warranty.

Edit. That 4TB version is a lot better deal with the price being that close.

Sorry, where does it mention the 5 year warranty?
