I mainly get my content from private trackers and I want to invest in an external hard drive to put all of my movies and shows on. What external hard drive would you recommend with a decent upload rate? Should I consider an SSD?

Spinning rust is fine, if you seed a lot, you will often be the only seeder on a torrent. In that case being able to keep the file around is fare more important than shaving milliseconds off download times.
