Default HDD recommendation?

Hello, I was wondering if I could get a bit of advice on the best HDD to use as my main Pro Tools recording drive (i.e. not the OS drive). I've got about £100 to spend, but would like to spend less if I can.

I've got a spare internal 6Gb SATA slot on my motherboard, so was planing on using that (although I have a USB3 slot spare too..?)

I've done a bit of research and seen a few people on here recommending the WD Black drives, but I also saw a Seagate Barracuda for nearly half the price.

I'm just doing a bit of amateur music making at home, so it seems prudent to go for the cheaper option, unless I'm missing something?

Anyone have any thoughts or other recommendations? And is it sensible to go for a nice big drive (2Tb?) or something smaller?

Thanks!
