With the myriad of hard drives appearing in the last couple of years it can get pretty confusing on what to pick for what applications or machine you use. If your going for blazing speed at a cost just doesn't matter then a NVME M.2 or PCI-E MVME probably makes sense on a board that supports them. Need massive storage but top speed isn't the priority, maybe a 1 TB SSD in the $1000 price range is fit for your pocket book. Massive storage then NAS with massive platter drives might fit the bill. How about that aging laptop with one drive bay that only fits 2.5 inch drives and like most of us you still have to put Cherrios on the table this month. Western Digital offers a Blue 1 TB SSHD with the storage suitable for a 1 drive bay Laptop where budget is a concern.

The Western Digital Blue 1TB SSHD is a blending of 8 GB of fast NAND flash inside a platter drive. They offer both 3.5 inch (4 TB) and 2.5 inch (1 TB) and the 1 TB model is extremely suited for single bay Laptops where you don't want to (or can't) send $1000 for a 1 TB SSD yet still need large storage for your media su ch as music, movies or even media creation like animation or CAD application.
