I prefer WD drives. The limit with fully patched OS should be 2TB (on builtin IDE), I think. Anyway I managed to format 300Gb WD IDE. Only downside is, you need a lot of partitions due to pfs3 limit of their size, and each one eats some RAM.
Better sorry than worry.

dunno about others, but I like the HDD noise (floppy too!) in retro computers, speed doesn't matter so much. heat and power consumption does, but not too much.
SSDs are very robust, though, if you have important data.
Better sorry than worry.
