No SMR drives please. It will be used mainly for video. Should it be a normal hard drive or SSD ?
 
Also do SSDs still slow down if you fill them up 70% or more ?

    The cheaper option is a mechanical hard drive. I'd also recommend a backup solution that would work for you. With HD and 4K videos don't skimp on the hard drive size or you'll run out of space very quickly. 

    AMD Ryzen 9 7950X,  Corsair Mp700 Pro M.2, 64GB Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5  X670E Steel Legend, MSI RTX 4090 Associate Code: H5U80QBH6BH0AXF. I am NOT an employee of EVGA

    I have always been under the impression that mechanical drives were preferred for storage longevity (meaning write once and save it, not rewriting/overwriting), with WD Blacks being pretty much the top of that class. Been a while since I've used a mech drive though.
     
    Having said that, ironically I have a borked 2TB WD Black sitting in my drawer.
