Be careful with those big hard drives. Just because they're bigger, that doesn't mean they'll last longer before they fail.

I wouldn't be too worried if the main purpose is backing up huge video files.

Of course every HDD and SSD drive can fail, but the chances go down a lot, if you don't constantly rewrite data on them.
