I just ordered this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LQ ... UTF8&psc=1 which is WD 2.5" 4TB (only 3.6TB in Windows) for only 100$.
I'm currently downloading a lot of KaOs' releases on torrent to store them on this drive. I already got 1.5TB of them.
This way, it will be easier for me to upload games when the links go offline.

If you guys prefer Seagate (personally I hate it), there are two very good offers:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZTRXFBA Seagate 2.5" 4TB 105$
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LZP2B23 Seagate 2.5" 5TB 140$

I don't know for you guys but these are very good prices because in my country we have a tax that goes up the higher capacity the drive is so for example, the WD 4TB costs 170€ here.

That's pretty good! Just did a check here on that model & the cheapest being sold locally is about US$180.00. 4TB should be good for a while although with new games like Final Fantasy XV needing...wait for it... 170GB for install :shock: we could be entering a new era very soon where 10s of TBs will be needed to store all your games! :lol: Just look at how CoD games for example have increased dramatically in size over the years. Either that or some smart cookie comes up with a whole new file system that takes up way less space for the same quality (well we can only dream lol!).

I definitely trust WD over Seagate given past experience - even my oldest WD drives have outlasted failed Seagate ones both external & internal. The cheaper Seagate external drives appear to have a pretty high failure rate based on both my own experience, that of family & friends & what I've seen when I went searching online for feedback a few times.
