Hi all, I’m looking for a new HDD to basically store all of my photos and videos that I’ve taken over the past year (I started last year). Currently, I have a T7 shield 1TB but is currently filled to the brim with ~250gb of games and the rest being photos and videos. I use a Macbook Pro so I’m not sure if that will affect anything. I just started looking for a new HDD a few days ago, and have gotten that I should be targeting for a CMR drive. However, I can’t find any external CMR drives that are within my budget (~200SGD). I have found quite a few CMR drives but they are internal and I really don’t know if I should be getting internal or external. I will not be moving my hdd around that much, probably just on my table that I can just connect to my Mac and disconnect when I want to move my Mac around, so its fine if its in the form factor of 3.5” or as big as an 8tb Seagate expansion (I didn’t want to consider that as I heard its SMR). Also I’m not sure what drive to be looking at, but ideally 4-8TB and within my budget. I will move my photos and videos to the hdd, and edit with the T7. Please give any recommendations for external drives, or an internal drive and enclosure 🙏. Thanks all and sorry for the long and rookie question 🙏
