Haha that was luck, I just searched for gaming optimised HDD and
WD_BLACK came out top.

There's no such thing as a gaming optimized hard drive.  Get the WD
Blue 8TB drive instead.  It's also a CMR drive, you just save money by
getting a blue sticker instead of a black one.

You really don't want to be playing games off a hard drive anyways
these days.  It's fine for older games and smaller ones, but most new
games list an SSD as a requirement.  You can use the hard drive to
store the games you're not playing though, as Steam makes it easy to
move installed games from one drive to another.
