Btw, the term memory refers to RAM, the term storage refers to HDDs and SDDs.

That's why that guide exists, it is an accumulation of dozens of threads thegoldenmackid browsed and consolidated in that form.

I'm partial to WD 1TB My Studio* HDDs as we have a dozen of them at work and even physical abuse doesn't seem to harm them.

If you use MRoogle, you will find hundreds of similar threads, and you will get different responses anyway, as different users use different HDDs.
I also recommend building your own external HDD by using an external HDD enclosure and buying your own 1TB or 2TB HDD and putting it in.

www.macsales.com is a good start, also www.newegg.com is often recommended for the US American audience.

* The one without the display on them.
