I'm looking to upgrade to a 4TB internal HDD in a Tower PC. It would replace a 2TB drive (I have 2 Seagate drives other than my SSD) in my main PC that are running out of room. I figured instead of a 3TB, go with a 4 instead. I have had good luck in the past 20 years, other than one failure (and that was a drive in a TiVo), I guess I have been lucky until I started reading the current reviews.
I was looking at these, but the failure rates are terrible (for the most part) based on 1 & 2 star ratings from Amazon & Newegg.

Since this will primary be for archive (backup) video files (movies), I was considering 5400 and 7200 drives.
Open for discussion.
(I hope the links are ok here, I didn't see anything to the contrary)
