    Need help to choose second HDD

    Sup guys, i'm looking for a new hard drive to put in my PC, i've got about 6 TB of stuff across 4 hard drives and i'd like to get rid of some of them and just get one massive hard drive, what would be recommended?

    Thanks in advance

    Honestly with that much data I'd look more into a NAS (Network Storage). That's a good amount of data. I'd want that much in a RAID at the least. Moving its going to take a long time.... Just going for a 8TB you are already looking in the 300-500 range.

    If the drives will be mainly for storing data, I'd go with a RAID 1 setup using two:
    WD Red 8TB NAS Hard Disk Drive - 5400 RPM Class SATA 6 Gb/s 128MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD80EFZX
