I plan to use with optiplex 3060 and need drive for long term seed which means continuous read though the read would be only for few kb
Earlier I had seagate external drive shucked but they died after using for 1 year 24*7

I used a 4 TB WD Green for 3 years of torrenting and no trouble. Now it’s my security camera HDD as well as some other duplicate storage.
I’ve been using a refurbished enterprise drive from serverpartdeals.com for about a year and it’s still going strong. Plus side: cheap. Downside: refurb.
Since it’s torrents I assume it’s not critical data, so it shouldn’t be too big a deal if the drive fails. Buy two and put them in RAID0¹ if it’s actually important.
¹ yeah yeah RAID is not a backup service
