Not a gamer but this is my own experience as a media hoarder. External harddrives and computers are great today but the newer operating systems today SUCK ASS and bog down the CPU & GPU with third party bloatware/spyware crap. Therefore I don't use newer operating systems. If you want something for large storage, go with something like Western Digital or Seagate. I've had no problems using either of those for personal storage (at least not yet but I do take precautions and have extra mirrored backup drives just encase the originals were to crash).
