Recommended Storage Drives for Simple Home Streaming?

TL;DR: Looking for cheap 1-2TB HDD/SDDs that would be perfect for Jellyfin. Not worried about redundancy as all my media is backed up elsewhere.

Hey all, currently I've got a PC that pulls double duty as my Jellyfin server and a gaming PC, the specs are as follows:
Ryzen 5 5600X
16GB DDR4 RAM
Nvidia 3070 FE
1TB Samsung 970 EVO NVMe
500GB WD Blue SATA SSD
1TB WD Blue HDD

The NVMe drive contains my Windows install, the SATA SSD contains my Linux install (now my primary OS), and the HDD contains my media for Jellyfin. Given that my HDD is now about 10 years old, I'm getting a bit worried about leaving this HDD on and running all the time. I pretty much only stream to my TV and have a small amount of TV shows, movies, and home videos. Do y'all have any recommendations on cheap drives (~1-2TB) I can use for Jellyfin? This drive would be used only for Jellyfin, nothing else.

Any HDD should treat you well. If your 1tb drive is even remotely close to full you may want to consider larger than a new 1-2tb drive. Depending on where you live a 4-6tb HDD may not be much more than a 1-2tb drive.

Yup, a normal, consumer HDD is more than enough to stream 4k content off of. Now, once you get into 3+ streams it might start to be a bottleneck, but really just about anything you have will work,

I use the Seagate Iron Wolf Pro. 16TB is a good starting point if you like 4k.
