Best external hard drive for seeding? (lemmy.world)

I mainly get my content from private trackers and I want to invest in an external hard drive to put all of my movies and shows on. What external hard drive would you recommend with a decent upload rate? Should I consider an SSD?

Any recent-ish spinning disk should do. You're probably not going to be seeding fast enough to saturate the read speed on whatever you choose anyway. The real question is how much are you willing to spend? I've seen fairly recent deals for 18tb WD EasyStores for around $250, but that's going to be slightly higher $/tb compared with something like a 12tb or 14tb drive.
