Which hard drive to get?

[Guest]

I want to get a 1 tb hard drive to pair it with my ssd. My ssd is going to be used for my operating system and programs, but 128 gb just isn't enough to store 40 gb game recordings. The hard drive will mainly be used to store documents, pictures, and game recordings. What drive would you guys recommend me to buy? I would like the drive to be reliable, to stay cool during operation, and being really quiet. Reliability and quiet and cool operation is very important to me. Also very important to me is endurance and how long it will last. I'm am going to be constantly writing and reading from the drive and I hope a drive will last me for the next 5 years.

any normal desktop harddisk will do, look for Western Digital or Seagate Barracuda, or Toshiba

Western digital black. The longest warranty for a consumer drive and high performance for video encoding and storage. It's a bit more expensive though.

Very dependable drive, runs cool and not that noticeable for noise.
