Don't over think it.

The most expensive and notable drive could be used as a foot ball during shipping and by the time you get it it'll be crap.

If you have important storage it should always at least be duplicated on another drive.

I forgot I am going to be streaming the video from my pc to my phone on Plex when I am out and about from this hard drive. Does that matter on hard drive selection/speed ?
