The 2TB HDD rather than the 1TB SSHD.
Reason - as a secondary drive, you're generally not accessing the same data ll the time. Ergo, what data ends up in the little 'ssd' cache space on the SSHD is not what you need next. And is read at regular HDD speed anyway.

Thanks! I was leaning towards that one in the first place cause of the storage and cache difference but I saw the reviews on the SSHD and people were using it as a boot drive and liked it.
