For a steam library? Why?
I have over 1TB in my library currently if I were to install every game.

Using an ssd for game storage, reaping the benefit of 1 second less in loading times

When will this meme end

Nope, the decrease is really significant, with games that suffer from very long loading times you can cut them by 50-90%.
But you should be only putting the games you play at the moment on an SSD, getting a larger one just to keep your whole Steam library on it is a massive waste of resources.

Why just 1 TB? You can get much more on a mechanical drive if you spend just a little more, unlike with SSDs where the price scales in a pretty much linear manner.

The decrease is huge and it increases responsiveness in general. If you're playing an online class based shooter and each class is a limited amount of players it's invaluable.

My brother loves visiting for Christmas so he can play RO/Rising Storm 2 on my PC and get sniper every time.

SSD's aren't exactly that expensive anymore, I don't get this meme of "buy a tiny one for system files", nowadays any kind of frequently accessed game/program should be on SSD, and HDDs used for keeping all your pictures or documents or music or whatever.

I bought ten 2tb ultrastars, 8 in a raid6 configuration with 2 spares and spent less than 450$ on the lot incl tax. I trust a returned hitachi over just about any other drive. Shits been running for ages without a hiccup.

personally, i would use
Seagate Archive 8TB 3.5" 5900RPM

and get a 512gb/1tb ssd

put all the games on the 8tb, and the VERY few that use all the speed you can toss at it/open world games/texture pop in nightmare games, put them on the ssd.

multiple drives just begs for colossal failure points.

get 2 great solutions over one failure waiting to happen

While this is probably a good choice for OP (an extra drive for gaymes), I would strongly advise against buying it as a main drive or for storing critical data. Some of these are pretty much on deathbed, some even arrive DOA. They aren't returned goods, they're discarded enterprise units. But yes, most of the time you will still get years of good use out of these because Hitachi dies much harder than WD or Seagate, I'm just saying don't trust them too much.
