I used shielded and properly grounded cat6, and even then I was seeing spurs and noise all over from 2m down. Granted the cat6 run was basically parallel to my attic antenna just about 5 ft from it for nearly the entire length.

I put one ferrite ring on both ends of the run with 5 turns through each and nearly entirely killed spurs I had been seeing all over the spectrum.

For 2.5" SSD I'd suggest a Samsung Evo or crucial mx500. These will top out at like 4TB afaik.

For 3.5" spinner I'd suggest an enterprise class HDD. Specifically WD Gold or HGST. Look up the most recent backblaze drive failure report for some models known to last a while.
