Hello everyone, currently looking to replace the 5+ years old Toshiba 2TB and WD Green 2TB (https://i.imgur.com/lZNiFaq.jpeg) with new HDDs.
Looks like I am somewhat on the wrong sub probably. I can't remember the sub for hardware suggestions.
Windows is on a WD Blue SSD, frequent backups are on the 870 Evos, also soon 5 years old. Also turns out, SSDs are not that good to use as cold storage. And the beforementioned HDDs are now way old imo to store important stuff.
Kinda want to go with the cheap WD Purple, but apparently these are optimized for non-stop writing, and couldn't find WD Blacks here, another option would be Toshiba. Never touched nor bought Seagate, no particular reason.
TLDR would be the Purple a good pick, just to copy over my stuff every week or month, and remove from power until next back up period?
