Best HDD/SSD for TV Movie Recording: Capacity & Budget-Friendly Options (Full HD Quality)

Hi
Please tell me if you want to record movies from TV:
1) Just an HDD or better SSD?
2) What capacity will be appropriate (Full HD quality)?

I would not want to overpay unnecessarily.

1) I don't understand the need for SSD, HDD is fast enough.
2) And what will be the length of the recordings? The bigger it is, the more you record. I also don't know what compression your TV is recording with, so I shoot that 500GB is enough for a good few hours of recording.
In monitoring in H264 compression, 1 hour of recording is about 1GB of data: link

For recording, I used a 16 GB flash drive, you could save a dozen or so movies, the resolutions were different.
The advantage compared to the hard disk is small size (no cable, you do not need to hang it or place it near the TV).
If you watch recorded movies on a regular basis, 32-64 GB are enough. If you want to archive, it depends on the number of movies.

1) Somewhere around my ears, the HDD connected to the USB of the TV is still spinning and thus making noise and consuming quickly. I was asking more in this context, not speed.
2) One movie on TV lasts about 2.5 hours (with commercials), and I would like to fit a dozen or so movies.

As for the capacity, it's like a colleague above. The disk in a typical computer also works constantly. Personally, if I had to have such a disk permanently connected for recording, I would choose a 64 GB flash drive. I thought it was about connecting for recording and disconnecting.

Several full HD movies after 2.5 hours. Everyone can fit 64 GB. We don't know how TV stores these movies, what is the compression and size of the video file.
I use Corsair Voyager GT 16 GB for about 10 years and I had no problems with it. Flash drives from this manufacturer with a capacity of 64 GB and 128 GB are at a similar price,
64 GB approx. PLN 130, 128 GB approx. PLN 140 With such a small difference in price, the decision seems obvious.
You can still check the TV manual to see if there is information about the minimum write speed.
In my TV after inserting the pendrive is tested, if the result is positive, write and read should work smoothly.

Personally, I would buy the cheapest laptop disk at 5400 rpm and a capacity of 500-1000 giga in a USB pocket (comparable price as for a 128 GB pen drive and you can fit much more movies). TV DVB-T use 1080i anyway, which translates into a small size of the saved file.
If the disk is noisy, you won't hear it from a distance of 2 m (sitting on the sofa in front of the TV) and 5400 discs are rather quiet. Do not worry about the durability of the disk if you do not throw it while working, then nothing bad should happen to it. New disk disks go into standby if they are not used - the heads park and the plates slow down to reduce the consumption of electricity and the disk itself.

Nobody wrote about it but the TV has encrypted recording, so you won't be able to read movies saved on a disk or penriva when connected to a PC. This is a protection against unauthorized distribution of TV recordings. Part of the TV also formats the disk into its own file format.

I connected the Kingston USB 3.0 16gb USB stick to the test, but there was a message that the TV needs a minimum of 250gb hard drive to record. On a USB stick you can only pause movies for a moment. Philips TV.

So I will buy, as you advise, an ordinary 500 GB HDD. Thanks for the answers.
