Space has started becoming an issue for me again and i'm growing tired of it, I want this problem to go away for a good long while so I'd like at least a 4TB drive to throw my steam collection on to and still have room to grow.
Whats a good make/model to go for right now? Budget is flexible but I'd like to keep it under £150 (also I'm in the UK so I need vendors that will deliver to me without charging an asston for shipping).
Thanks guys!

Just keep in mind the larger drives tend to be lower RPM, I think these all clock in at 5400ish RPM. And that's definitely going to impact loading time of movies and games. Not a huge amount but it may matter. Things like civ 5 might take 5 minutes instead of 3.
the WD green is exactly what i was thinking i just dont know much about HDD brands
i do have an SSD on my machine for any games where it'll really matter
